Re: Cafe interview Q&A : Fresh-Baked-Pie (Answers)
Of course it’s a choice… but I hope that more than that, you got that what leads us up to our choices is often times AS important as the choice itself. Life is a million shades of gray. If a boy steals, punish him. Simple? Maybe… maybe not. If you know the boy steals because he is from abject poverty and unimaginable living conditions… is his choice to steal a simple one? Is it black and white… what is the important lesson in the story? Is it “don’t steal”? Or is it more why has a society… a community… left a boy in such a situation?? It’s so much more than a good or bad choice.
I think all the things you list matter a great deal. In my ideal world every child would have access to them all.
