I now understand your point Amos.

Unfortunately we have let the policians, religions, and corporate economics define our values in providing false values to go after. Reason being these 3 elements retain a position of power by setting the standard of their values.

The values many parents (though in their best intentions) are trying to provide for their children are in someways 'false values' again fed to them by the 3 above elements.

The false values of a house in the suburbs, 2 cars in every garage, Nike sports shoes, reality T.V. for all, a mother and father of same sex, etc. In chasing these dreams people seem to lose the basic human grounding that society (family, community) truely require.

Again, just a thought. Not preaching here just trying to arrive at an answer as elusive as it may be.
