From today, you will not sleep sad, my son.

From today, you will not sleep sad, my son. For a whole year, I asked hundreds of young men and women: How many days do you sleep sad in a week? The surprising thing was that a high percentage of them said: I sleep sad from 3 to 4 days a week, meaning half or more of their days they sleep sad, and a very small percentage of these said: I sleep sad one day a week... I asked many children and teenagers: When do you sleep sad? What things pass through your day that might make you sleep sad? They said different things, and I gathered them all, totaling about one hundred reasons... Yes, one hundred reasons that might make your son and daughter sleep with sadness as their companion... It is a time of worries and sorrows for adults, so how about our poor and little children? Sadness attacks our children morning and evening, and they are in desperate need of a caring mother’s hand and a pure father’s smile.
