Child care

Long ago I made a promise to myself that I would not bring a child into this world before I had the means to provide for it all that it would need.

But I do not think children need a polstered environment. They do not need a fictional reality built around them to protect them for the harsh reality of the world.
If you as a parent erect such walls of safety around your child, and if you cannot preserve these walls for the entire life of that child, then you are doing great injustice to your child, depriving it of the oportunity to develop the means to live happily in the world as it is.
