Empty Vessels

The many faces of Ben

Babies are empty vessels. We fill them up with our ideas, our love, or beliefs, even our hate and our prejudices. We either provide them with the right key to a healthy, happy, and fulfilled life or the wrong one. Imagine standing at the gateway to happiness, fulfillment, and love, ready to unlock it, only to realize you have the wrong key.

The next time you speak to your child, or any child for that matter, the next time you can make a difference in a childs life, the next time you have a choice to do the right thing or the wrong thing..... remember children don't have a choice. They didn't ask to be here. We are their gatekeepers
