My mom and I were just talking about that movie, "The Man Who Knew Infinity."
"Think of all the things he could have accomplished and written down if his mentor wasn't so caught up with helping people appreciate him while he was alive!" I said to her as we folded laundry together. "His mentor was just so caught up in making people believe him by forcing him to write down proofs that so much was probably lost that Ramajudan could have discovered!"
"He was too caught up in being a teacher," my mom calmly observed.
Ouch.
Teachers, mentors. Let's take a step back and stop forcing forms when our kids' genius is pouring out. Time and seasons. May we follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost and not act out of pride in our position as mentors.
