How lovely it is to share time with such interesting and fun young adults. Some of them we have known for quite a long time. It’s a delight to watch them learn and grow and change.
It’s fascinating to talk with them and find out how they see their journey to adulthood.
Here’s one such conversation today.
“I want to talk about all the things I have learned since being a child. I didn’t understand all the things about the world but now I am an adult I am more mature. This is new for me to share myself. I always thought that people didn’t want to hear from me but now I know better. I do have things to share and I can contribute.”
And they certainly can contribute.
Today we had a long conversation with one of our Members about contributing to society. It was interesting because he seemed to think that cleverness was his greatest, perhaps only contribution. The conversation finished with the pleasant realisation that everyone has something to offer and everyone has value to our community and our society. Being clever is not the “way we decide the value of a person’s life or contribution.”
