When
a hobo told Andy he should just let Opie "decide for himself" how he
wanted to live… Andy had these words of Mayberry wisdom.
"No,
I'm afraid it don't work that way. You can't let a young’n decide for himself.
He'll grab at the first flashy thing with shiny ribbons on it. Then, when he
finds out there's a hook in it, it's too late. Wrong ideas come packaged with
so much glitter that it's hard to convince them that other things might be
better in the long run. All a parent can do is say 'Wait' and 'Trust me' and
try to keep temptation away."
Somehow...
we have lost this basic truth.
