Something I think about a lot [View all]

Wild animals instinctually nurture and protect their offspring. The mother, and many times the father, is constantly watching out for the young one's safety until it is time for them to start learning to take care of themselves.They teach them how to survive in their world. That is the parent's only, all consuming job.

Wouldn't it be nice if all human parents did the same? And wouldn't it be nice if the children of the parents who, for whatever reasons, didn't nurture and protect them, could one day be free of the emotional consequences?
