More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

The whole question of pornography seems to me a question of secrecy. without secrecy there would be no pornography. but secrecy and modesty are two utterly different things. secrecy has always an element of fear in it, amounting very often to hate. modesty is gentle and reserved. today, modesty is thrown to the winds, even in the presence of the grey guardians. but secrecy is hugged, being a vice in itself. and the attitude of the grey ones is: dear young ladies, you may abandon all modesty, so long as you hug your dirty little secret.

When someone kisses someone or flushes the toilet it is my other who sits in a ball and cries. my other beats a tin drum in my heart. my other hangs up laundry as i try to sleep. my other cries and cries and cries when i put on a cocktail dress.

Children long to know that they are lovable. and there are ways that technology can help with that. but ultimately it's their relationships with their parents, their grandparents, their peers, and their teachers that help them to know that for sure. a child can learn the word "hug" and the letters h-u-g through a computer, but a computer can never give the child a hug.

And when it comes to developing the high standards we need, it's time to stop working against our teachers and start working with them. teachers don't go in to education to get rich. they don't go in to education because they don't believe in their children. they want their children to succeed, but we've got to give them the tools. invest in early childhood education. invest in our teachers and our children will succeed.
