Living in a Bubble

Sur Notes has a wonderful, introspective post about what we as parents might do to bring up our children so that we still ‘evoke the whiff of the library and the scratches of the hand me down toys’.What set this off was an evening with friends, among whom was filmmaker Paromita Vohra:

paro teaches a spectrum of students at both the grad and post grad level. and she said something that stayed with me- we live in a world that is focussed on ‘me’. she spoke about the students she deals with- self absorbed, with an unreal sense of self importance and with little concern for the people and the world around them.

our media, the market, the family reinforce the sense that its about ‘me”my needs” my choices’.a peverse creation of the importance of the individual.

and as parents, who are totaly absorbed with our children, how do we deal with this and not exacberate it?
