PEACETIME GENERALS

Photo: grabbed from Google.

I noticed that some of the higher officials in our country are peacetime Generals. These are types of higher officials that are only trained by the book, but when real pressure and problems kick in, they easily get swayed and defeated. It's obvious how they handled the pandemic. No concrete plans. They failed to mitigate the surge of the virus. And almost did nothing about the territorial disputes against China. So embarrassing. And the list goes on.

 I don't want to be tough looking on the outside but soft on the inside. 

What's bothering me is that most of the kids today are being set up this way either by society, peers, or parents. They always tell their sons/daughters to always win in a contest or be the consistent honor student. That they shouldn't lose or else their lives would be miserable, but the truth is when real life starts to give them real problems, they easily give in because they don't know what losing is like.

We live in a day and age where losers get runner-up trophies to get that sense of (fake) entitlement. 

Let's not train our children to be softy; otherwise, LIFE will make fun of them.
