Imagine a world

where young children do not physically play. They do not walk, run and jump. They do not ‘work out’ how to cross that stream; they do not build things. They do not ride bikes.

Now add to that a world where they do not need to think, research or judge. They do not even need to be able to type, just speak. They can be ‘safely’ horrible from a distance.

Yes, be afraid. Very afraid. For physical health. For mental health. For spiritual health.

For our gift: planet earth.

Thinking

And solving challenges and being creative is not hard. The brain will almost do it itself given a bit of time and space and fuel such as reading or writing. And that is the dilemma of course. Too often the brain is distracted by rubbish.
