G-Poppers … June 8th, 2018
G-Pop wants his children to know that if you’re going to follow what is right and do what is consistent with sanity, you will sometimes find yourself looking not cool, and even being considered not very smart.
It is the whole instability of a fad.
A fad is a decision to depart from the norm, if for no other reason than to escape what is perceived to be a restrictive situation.
Because fads have no future, they don’t really consider all of the ramifications of their practices. You can follow such trends, but when they fall apart–and they do–you will be counted among those who got duped.
There’s no need to be picky in life and try to be a stick in the mud, but certainly there are truths that cannot be altered, and should not be set aside simply because we want to experiment with a novel approach.
Here’s a simple way to view it:
1. Is it something that needs to be done?
2. Is it something that Abraham Lincoln had to do?
3. Is it something you want to teach your children to do?
Then do it.
It might sound a little silly–and I used Abraham Lincoln because he stood against some very strong, convincing fads, but stayed on the game plan that “all men are created equal.” It was not so popular to believe that. He was the kind of fellow who didn’t care. (You notice I did not say to use Richard Nixon as an example.) Abraham Lincoln did unpopular things because they were lasting and true.
So there’s your three-part process. If you really know what needs to be done, and you know Abraham Lincoln did it, and you know that as a parent you would teach your children the right way, then do it.
Don’t get tempted to follow a fad that fades.
For…they always do.
