It’s not. It’s asking why you think it is shameful. Because that term has no meaning in this situation. Something you have still yet to answer.
Asking that does not assume something else is good. Which you assumed I meant, based on absolutely no prompt from me. That is arguing in bad faith.

What does shame have to do with it?
Unless you believe it is the children’s fault they are falling behind? Which would be strange.

You won’t be here in 500 years. So that’s irrelevant. The only thing you can do is be kind, compassionate and do your best to limit misery and pain in others as much as possible. If you’re truly as empathetic as you seem to think you are. Then your moral imperative now is to do everything you can to limit as much suffering in the world as you possibly can. You truly give a shit about humanity as much as you say you do? Prove it. Help people.
This is my creed. You should live by it too.
> Live a just life and limit the suffering of others to the best of your ability. Through the use of education, compassion, and empirical facts.
> Treat others as you want to be treated, and in a manner they consent to. > Do not do good for gain. > Give to others with no expectation of anything in return. Kindness requires no payment. It is not love if you require them to give it back.
> Have compassion for those who are suffering. Be it those that self harm, or those that lash out in rage. Violence of the self, or of others, is usually born of violence- avoid it as much as is practical- but do not be afraid to defend yourself, or others, when there are no other options.
> Always seek to lift others up. Encourage, and give others affirmation. The pursuit of your own growth is more rewarding when those around you are succeeding. Never discourage, and insult. There is nothing to gain with mean spirited remarks, regardless of how they have wronged you, or others. Hatred serves no purpose other than to poison yourself. Simply take in criticism, dispassionately reflect on it, and use that information to help yourself grow.
> Your pain from anything external is not because of that thing, but due to your estimation of it. If it is your estimation causing you grief, then you have the power to dissolve that. Remember, you get to decide how you interpret the world- and no one has the ability to take that away from you.

You didn’t ask a question. You made an assumption. Suggesting you thought i believed it was good. I’m not overly interested in discussing with someone that cloud talks like you do.
