As I study people, I realise, what ails them. Attention they were deprived off as children.
Attention is more important than money. More important than toys. More important than video games. Food even.
When a child is deprived of attention, it is deprived of a key growth hormone it needs to develop its brain. Such children, if not born with autism, go on to develop it, later in life.
We are giving our attention to musical instruments. To mobile devices. To games, X boxes.
But are we giving attention to each other? The jury is out on that.
