Due to some email comments I received concerning my post the Y-factor
Let me clarify a few things. The kind of “Whys” I was referring to are not ones of rebellion or questioning authority but of why or how things work. The kind of Why that sparks a person to rip a part a toaster to figure our why a toaster works…or better yet How it works.
I was originally going to post some of the comments I received via email but decided those who responded via email wanted to stay anonymous for a reason. So as I clarify this I wish i could say that it is a toddler type curiosity but I know all too well that there are adults and teenagers who have this same type of drive to figure out how the world works. Matter of fact i live with an adult version of this.
I hope my kids always have that kind of curiosity. That is what keeps us learning throughout life. I love to learn and so does my husband. I hope that is something that we will always be able to instill in our kids. Once we believe we have arrived then life becomes boring.
One last note to those of you who think Tornado was questioning authority I guess a lot gets lost in the written world. you can tell a lot about a child’s intentions by the tome in which they speak. Tornado was trying to understand circumstances and not be rebellious. though we do have those moments as well. We correct him for those moments and move on.
We will all have rebellious moments after all we are all sinners. Our goal is to have fewer and fewer rebellious moments as they get older. I hope that explains a little firther of what I am thinking. Please feel free to comment here or via email .
