This is a quote that I do not think will apply directly to me at this stage in my life but I think it is a good thought to release into the world and allow it to flourish. If people do not do good by their children and raise them into a good place they will slowly become the broken men and women that the quote is talking about. When people are older it is very difficult to get them to change their ways and to try and learn new ideas that will help them to grow. They become set in their ways so to learn the right things when you are young is a great benefit for children.
Perhaps you have children or have friends who do they can all benefit from this thought. It is a bit more harsh than the quotes from other figures of history but I think it makes a point that is hard to accept for some so it will always seem harsh in their perceptions.
Good night to all it is early morning and time to sleep on these ideas and awaken hopefully more ready to learn and expand my thoughts.
