Obligations and Expectations

Almost everything in life these days comes The Light Code Reviewwith training wheels. Remember them? They kept you from falling over and hurting yourself before you really learned how to ride a bicycle. Once upon a time, only a few things (like our proverbial bicycle) came with training wheels, now, some people are trying their best to outfit the planet with them. Not only are people trying very hard to save us from ourselves (have they put up child-proof guard rails around the Grand Canyon yet?), but we're being provided with very specific instructions on the correct operation of everything. You probably remember the story of the guy who put his ladder in cow manure and sued when it slipped over (of course that never happened, it was a story both invented and repeated by Ronald Regan). Now your ladder says, "Do not set ladder in cow manure." (It doesn't??? That's odd, because mine does!)

Let's talk a little about these 'training wheels' that we've been given throughout our lives. What are they there for? You're probably saying, "Isn't it obvious that they're there to help people get started doing something that they've never done before?" That's the approach that I would take with it. However, there are two issues that militate against what you and I would see as 'obvious': 1) some people are two frightened or too lazy to go beyond the training stage and 2) some trainers can be so insistent that people 'get' the basics that they prevent them from moving beyond them.

In sports, it seems that parents and coaches can't wait to push kids into playing adult-sized games with adult-level equipment. Some even encourage youngsters whose bones are still growing to work out with weights - a practice that can cause permanent damage. On the other hand, in many other areas of life, those same young men and women are discouraged from taking on adult challenges. Many elementary school age youngsters are sent to some kind of church school or religious education. Then what? From my experience in the ministry, I'd say that, often times, nothing much happens after that. I've met very many people who've had literally years of religious education and then grew up and tried to deal with adult issues with an elementary school education. Is it any wonder that they're confused? In addition, many times, religious educators discourage or even prevent these same youngsters from asking challenging questions and taking new perspectives.https://untappedreviews.com/the-light-code-review/
