We were born precious flowers

The following quote is from Thich Nhat Hanh it speaks volumes. I wish we took this approach to loving and championing the unique souls of children.

Every child is born in the garden of humanity as a flower. Each flower differs from every other flower. There are many messages in our society that tell us, even when we are young people, that there’s something wrong with us and that if we buy the right product, or look a certain way, or have the right partners, that will fix it. As grown ups we can remind young people that they are already beautiful as they are; they don’t have to be someone else.
