“Amongst the first lies that adults teach children is that life is a golden dream where anything is possible. A child is initiated into is the concept of the American Dream, which suggested that all Americans could look forward to an easy life of prosperity, free from doubt and worry, and exempt from heartache and tragedy. Perhaps one of the greatest errors of a parent is to introduce children to the world of fairy tales, wizardry, and the power of dreams. Perhaps we might be of greater service by telling children the truth about life – life hurts – living requires enduring pain, loss, and sacrifice.” — Kilroy J. Oldster
