Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

TheImportance Of Teamwork In Any Group

By Luther Crawford

Kids really do just want to help. As soon as they start to interact with the other kids in preschool or daycare, they learn that the ability to give assistance to one another is one of the highest powers that they have. And they do it out of sheer will.

You should really be willing to take stock of this period of time in the young kids' lives. The home is currently the main focus of learning stereotypes. Things are changing but there are still male and female roles in the tasks that each must play in the home.

Let your child help out with the things around the house just because he or she wants to. Ask a child to do chores is a matter of debate and many tips. Some believe that children should not do housework.

You can split up the chores along age groups. Many parents and experts believe that a child benefits for children doing regular tasks. They give the child a greater sense of self-responsibility.

Allow your child to help out with the small chores that they want to do and that they can actually do. In fact children are very receptive to tasks, because then you are doing what Mom or Dad does, and it helps them feel more grown up. As the child grows, give the child more responsible tasks such as washing dishes, walking the dog, or vacuum.

It won't always be fun and games. The child will sometimes not want to do the chores that they have to do. If the child has other activities after school, the time left to do chores can be relatively short. If they are adding the tasks that the child can not comply or at least resistant.

The incentives are all there, and they will learn to enjoy the rewards that come along with their work. Sometimes the whole family helps clean up the mess that needs to be dealt with.

What you will see will happen is that the children will be accepting of responsibility and learn to take on the things they have to do without dealing with the hassles of arguments.
