So it comes and So it goes

A journey cannot begin without the first step.

With subtlety of teaching due to a hostile reaction to the journey's end, I believe I can encourage the commencement of the first step.

I just don't know how to be less subtle without them becoming hostile. Also I don't believe they are gaining from the subtlety.

A hostile reaction to an honest peer critique is a sign of one being unable to accept outside advice, but yet without a critique of themselves outside advice is accepted freely.

Problems of character and self correction may be lost or is it not yet found to a new generation.

When this the next stage greets everything that they don't know or agree with in anger, then how can we expect them to understand softness.

So if we know what's wrong, but are surrounded by too much apathy to do anything about it, is this next generation unsure of what's wrong or what to do about it, and does that mean another generation is needed to sort the old lot out?
