The value of life
by Ursula Cross
(30 January 2021) In a writing competition on the topic of "Generations", the text below won 1st prize in the "Children's" category. The text by the 11-year-old boy truly warms the heart. A welcome treat in these unpredictable and, for many, very stressful times.
Human relationships are and remain paramount to our well-being, no matter what age. Children in particular are dependent on true human relationships for learning and developing empathy. But older people also suffer from the lack of human encounters.
The text below radiates the value of human relationship at every age. A deserved winner.
