"You Are A Marvel"
Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe,
a moment that will never be again . . . And what do we teach our
children? We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris
is the capital of France.
When will we also teach them what they are? We should say to each
of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique.
In all the years that have passed, there has never been another
child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the
way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a
Beethoven.
You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And
when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you,
a marvel?
You must work - we must all work - to make the world worthy of
its children.
