Teachers wonder why so many students are discipline problems.
Employers wonder why so many employees are irresponsible.
Seems we've never had so many renegades, so much rebelliousness, so many lawbreakers, nor so many troublemakers. Any or all of those factors might play a role in contributing to our social problems in recent decades. But in my book, there's a much more fundamental cause. Do good, create jobs, perform assigned tasks to the very best of your ability, nurture children, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, share your abundance or good fortune and you will be rewarded with self-esteem. Do evil, cheat or rob, kill, ignore the needs of children, be rancorous, rude and uncaring, indulge in all types of harmful habits, live selfishly, hurt others and you will be taken to the woodshed, thrown in prison, denied rights or be executed.
