The rules:
1. Go to page 77 (or 7th) of your current ms
2. Go to line 7
3. Copy down the next 7 lines – sentences or paragraphs – and post them as they’re written. No cheating.
___________________________
Anyone who thinks children are innately good is a fool. Children lie, steal, cheat, and attempt to harm others in order to get what they want. Children are innocent and may not understand that to hit another child in order to get their toy or sweet roll is wrong and hurtful, but that innocence does not make them good. The other child’s desire to hit back is also innocent and understandable, but still does not come from a place of innate goodness. Empathy, compassion, and a desire to help others is a legacy adults pass along to the children in their lives, hopefully before the child is to old to absorb it.
No. Children are not innately good. They are simply educable.
