Jackie was –well is at the time of writing this – watching a programme on TV, 'the man who lost himself', a documentary about a man who was in a car accident and lost his memory. This aside – One of the girls (his daughters) was interviewed and said – 'he was the best dad in the world, he would let us get away with murder' – ok, no it's not ok. I have heard so many young people say things like this, she was great, she never told us off... he was a great instructor, he always let us do what we wanted...
This really frustrates me – on one hand they are saying this person is great yet on the other they are saying that this person did not discipline when maybe they should have, that they did not encourage good but supported bad, or that they didn't stand out from the crowed but were in the middle of the scruffs. Now I understand that there is an amount of letting young people or people under your care, leadership or discipleship learn, however we would never get anywhere in our lives or this world if we were not to learn from other peoples mistakes and make them ourselves. We would simply go round and round in circles.
Well, I am now off to study some more, will let you know when the next exam is.
Cy again soon.
