Use Knowledge to Overcome Violence…study  the situation at hand and look for a  peaceful  solution. Violence stems from wanting  to recover what a person believes was taken. Maybe this was valuables, property, pride, etc—violence is only a short term fix to try to recover these lost items and calm, enlightened methods to repair yourself give the best results.

Use Understanding to Overcome Anger…stop, listen and understand and comprehend what the anger is saying. Rage  is frustration and when its not heeded it becomes more loud. Many times anger can be reduced drastically when given a calm audience. You dont have to agree with the thought of the argument to be supportive to the person behind it.

Use Love to Overcome Hate…hate is cancerous. Every person has qualities that are wonderful and some that are less than so. Demonstrating love slows down the chance you will get hate in return.  Hating the hate breeds more hate, but answering hate with love weakens the hate..

I am of the thought that everyone, well, everyone in the sense of a mentally stable, non addict, should likely be a parent. I mean lesser people are doing it. Hell, my son gave me a reason to live. If i ever do anything great, i will do it in his name, even now just thinking of him i have tears in my eyes. hes the greatest thing in the world. SO yeah. if you can, do. Becuase the moment your kid is born, its like the colors get brighter, and nothing is the same, everything you thought you knew, it changes, your view changes, when you first hear his first sounds, they are backgrounds by angels singing. its just god damn incredible.

Encourage him to read books that will open his heart, and free his mind. Noone does that anymore, noone  has an open mind, it seems to be presumed archaic. If you learn about many cultures, its more like you will be accepting of them. From Homer to Shakespeare to Dahl, minds have been shaped that have improved civilization.

  Encourage the development of imagination, if he can visualize the change, if he can imagine the strength in him, than he can make the change occur. He will imagine the answers. All books have authors, and every author has a lesson to teach.

Dont keep him from the negative, the heartaches. These are important for growth too.  Trial and error is a great educator, but some lessons are painful. Any knowledge can be used to benefit society, avoid over protecting him.
