My mother used to say, “If all your friends jumped off the High Level Bridge (insert your closest bridge with any drop), would you. Apparently, yes was not the right answer. We need to listen to the wisdom closest to us. As we grow up, it is from our elders, but eventually we become the elders. Then what?
Your Mom called. She just wanted to remind you:
Oh, and also, that ethics and honesty are REALLY important.
Enjoy!

Sometimes children can be wiser than their elders.
Love this 🙂
It is a beautiful sentiment.

It is such a truism.

My mom used to say the same thing. A lemming I shall never be 😉
And you and I swore we would never say it to our children. I know I broke that promise and laughed about it later.
OH, yeah 😉
we know the truth in our hearts. That gut feeling is what to follow–providing of course–you have good guts! 😉
Absolutely, we know the difference between right and wrong. My mom says that is the role of free will; to discern the difference.
Yes, I do here mom calling, haha! ♥
Isn’t that true. I catch myself saying, “I promised not to say or do that.”
