How is a Parent supposed to raise their child in a positive manner when the thoughts of all these hangs on your head? My brother along time ago before he had a child of his own.. had a conversation with me in the manner that follows:
Joey: so Jimmy you gonna have kids some day?
Jimmy: what? and bring kids into the fucked up world? Why should they have to suffer?
Joey: meh...
For the longest time I agreed with him. Then on June 20th 2009 that train of thought on the rail of pessimism crashed.“And he who gives a child a treat Makes joy-bells ring in Heaven's street, And he who gives a child a home Builds palaces in Kingdom come, And she who gives a baby birth Brings Saviour Christ again to Earth.” John Masefield
Bring a precious child onto earth.. Isn't about adding one more human.. It's about adding a new POSSIBILITY.. This child may find a cure for cancer. This child may become a leader, an artist perhaps. but we don't really know our place on earth until the time comes. It's just the way it is and should be!
But don't worry too much. It just add wrinkles to our already flawed selves.
I know we're gonna do everything to give Hayden a chance to make the world a better place..
God would want it this way..
Joey, that's beautiful.
