Parents need a licence to have children

As a teacher I wonder how different our world would be or would it if parent(s) needed a licence before having a family.  In this licensing program parent(s) would be screened for: psychological well being, intelligence, education, life goals and commitment to nurturing a child.

I see daily parent(s) ill prepared to raise a child which then becomes a responsibility for teachers.  Teachers are under such stress due to a lack of resources, administration, ministry of education incentives, parents and student behavioural issues.

It amazing how Hollywood type people, sports athletes, investors, CEOs and the corporate managerial pack make oodles of money while teachers, nurses, doctors, social workers (basically civil servants) earn not enough for the demands of our professions.

So what's the answer?  The answer is for our society to bring awareness to the stress and trauma which follows our profession and for parent(s) to take responsibility and have accountability.  This does not sound so complicated -right?

Somehow there should be seminars for parents to attend before and after birth and continuing until the child becomes an adult-this sounds very radical but radical is just what we need to have a shift in consciousness.

Monetary greed and marketing have consumed our species into such inequality that it's shameful.  I advocate for a time of green sustainable living and responsibility.  Eating organic locally grown food.   Where we attack the cause of health problems instead of using pills.

If there are parallel planets like Stephen Hawkins talks about I wonder what their world is like?

Marketing=abundance and affluence but then what about karma?

I often wonder about karma and yoga and how popular of a term and activity is has become in the west.  If someone does something to hurt you you may say "karma has a great way of getting back." Or if one gets asked the question what do you do for fun and if the answer is not yoga then you are not "cool."


What is it about the west that takes something cultural and re-create it to be "western" for a profit?Ah....marketing!  Marketing has revolutionized the west into a creative mosaic that's just genius.  There has been countless of self help books to help one discover their "true gift and uniqueness" so as to make their ways of making money to be self fulfilled.


Now is this just karma or does the marketing phenomenon really change lives and create abundance and affluence? 


I am a commerce graduate and if it wasn't for my exposure into this area of study I would not have concluded that one needs to learn the skills to be a marketer as this is the underpinning of monetary success.  Yes, many times in the workforce it is who you know but it is also how you market yourself.  Take for example the entertainment business or more specifically Hollywood a multi billion dollar industry where  its very mantra is marketing.  


Now learning the skills is one thing but yes what about karma?  Could it be holding us back from abundance and affluence?


So what do I say: love, pray and market!
