Money--it's a shame!
How many times in our lives do we encounter parents, our own too, and/or siblings, destroying the potential joy gleaned from pursuing happiness through demanding that the off spring reject that path in favor of seeking wealth. What is it about the pursuit of wealth that makes it hierarchically imperative over one of most important human rights/?? Reframing every discussion between parent and child around the need to accumulate and properly use economic resources, always suggesting that later, much later, if ever, some personal happiness can be derived if all the economic realities are fitting into the perfect life jigsaw. Herein lies the deepest destruction of our rights, our cognitive ones as well. We are told, over and over that we first have to "make a living for ourselves" before we can enjoy the fruits of our labor. This farming biblical injunction is just that, an injunction against the pursuit of happiness, long a staple of the church during the Middle Ages, coming again into the fore during the early 1800's industrial revolution's expansion wherein young children were forced to work in the slave shops, and now found invariably in the religious and libertarian right who hold the view that poverty is a character flaw.
To listen to parents of adult children, tell the child that the parents know all that is best for them, that they don't know what life is about, that they are too ignorant to understand the complications of being alive--is some of the most ironic idiocy imaginable. It is a pure attack on the rights of the child, the rights of cognitive liberty and the pursuit of freedom particularly. Parents of course are often guilty of violating their own children's first amendment rights especially the religious and speech protections. But parents go deeper than that; they actively seek to destroy the will of the child to pursue happiness in order to faciliate the child's participation in the wage slavery upon which this great nation is based.
WE have an obligation to not support this; to actively intervene in protecting the rights of children. Taking away these rights, parents are supportive of everything that is destructive of our constitutional liberties and freedoms. They teach their children that it is irresponsible to advocate for one's own rights. It is in fact proper to interfere with the rights of others. If we can't see this and begin to address it, then we have lost any hope whatsoever of living free.
