As an analogy if there are drunkard parents who are not imitated by their own children - children that realise the error of the parents and thus seek influence from the upright family down the street for example - you know straight up there will be change, if not right away then by default when the oldies move on. The parents may despise and resist their kids "twisted" new patterns but it's up to the kids to persevere and not throw the parents out. When the objective and end result is so high, ie, parents could wake up from their stupor and lead a proper life, perseverance becomes a lot easier and well worth the effort. This goes much further than being just an analogy, it's a real life example. It's at the ground level. Apply the same to all the major problems faced in families across the country, where the end result means peace in your own home, then the battle is all but won. This doesn't need technology - there's enough focus on internet/games/music in the household that it's left very little bond within families. The vast majority of users have little care or worry for the truth when the "sweetness" of time-wasting activities seems a whole lot more pleasurable. It doesn't require technology (as it's just a tool), it requires the knowledge and realisation there's something wrong, and just as importantly, the will to make a change and break free from the lifestyles of the "rich and famous". And doing that, as pointed out in the example given earlier, requires some hardship and sacrifice. |
