It is thankless to deal with decom and young people. They neither know what they think nor what they say. It is the duty of us adults and mature people to constantly remind them of that. And that we don't let anything they want to express pass without our supervision. Because they are young and they have no idea.
It is ungrateful to deal with children and young people on the Public Service, because they are not of legal age, so they do not pay us a subscription. Moreover, they do not watch television or listen to the radio. They follow YouTube channels and podcasts. They are not the public Public service servicing. Except when he leaves the Public Service. So make a scandal, so to speak, a media coup d'état and society. When some villains from the Public Service remember that even that non-subscribing part of the public should be given some attention. But you won't get far, the public will scold you. The public will not remain silent when you use young people for manipulative purposes. Nor will your superiors turn to that public to protect you when you dare to give space to those unformed and fragile young beings, and when you purposefully abuse their naive immaturity.
"When a child was a child,
It didn't know it was a child,
Everything had a soul,
And all souls were One”
And so on, and it is, it is... Everything is One Soul. Teach children to interpret it in the correct way. That's your task, that's why citizens, parents, grandparents pay you. Only One way is right. Conduct your educational and educational goals in the Right and Only way. Mold our youth to the standards of age. It is a tradition, it is a value, it is a public interest. Cut at the root every naive and thoughtless thought of youth. Teach them to be old-fashioned, because the old always know better. Dissuade them from silly youthful questions, get in the way of their childish fantasies.
"When a child was a child,
It asked these questions:
Why am I just me and not you?
Why am I here and not there?
When did time begin?
And where does space end?
Is life under the sun just a dream?
Isn't it what I see, hear and feel?
Just a reflection of a World before this World?
If I know that evil exists,
Are there really evil people?
How come ME, it's like I didn't exist at all
Before I became ME,
And that once I, who I am,
I won't be ME anymore?"
Oh, those stupid and naive children! They do not know the concept of public interest. They do not have the scars of experience and therefore should not be listened to. If they dare to pretend to be smart, they only need to respond with "who's cutting your hair, kid!". It's even more convincing not to address them at all, just ignore everything they say. Yes, ignoring it is even more effective and financially sustainable. Who cuts them!
"When a child was a child,
He choked on spinach, peas, sutlijash,
Steamed cauliflower,
And now it's all swallowed up,
Not just because you have to.”
Our children should only grow up on baking, everything else is foreign mercenary food. Only škembić porridge for Serbian children! Parents who feed their babies porridge made of broccoli and kale, so they are foreign mercenaries one on one.
"When a child was a child,
Sweet berries would fill his fist
Just like berries do,
Well, now it would be.
And the green walnut soaked the tongue with bitterness,
Just as it is soaking now,
And from every mountain peak,
He rushed to an even higher peak,
in every big city,
cheered to an even bigger city,
And nothing has changed."
We, the Public Service workers, must objectively convey the reality. Yes, without any fantasies and exaggerations, without any subjective things. The only question that arises is whose reality we are conveying. And do we responsibly claim that there is only one reality in this world?
"He reached for the cherries to the highest canopy,
with the passion he still possesses today,
But also shy in front of strangers,
Just like before.
The first was impatiently waiting for the snow,
In the same way as today."
Can we leave a boy who just wants to skate alone? Can we, as a society, accept that even one child, who has his own desires and goals, can say something that upsets the entire public, without being instructed, manipulated and the like, but that he only talked honestly, openly and freely about the things that happened in his life? Can we accept the Public Service Children's Program that gives children the freedom to express themselves as they wish, or is such a thing too transgressive for what we consider to be in the public interest?
"When a child was a child,
It threw a stick like a spear,
Straight into the tree,
Where it still trembles today.”
Do we still tremble or are we numb?
