Often children come first.Savings,friendships and leisure time-everything revolves around your Child.Why do we happily sacrifice our pleasures,our money, sometimes even our lives?
Why have children? there are the usual explanations;we procreate to perpetuate the species out of duty for moral beliefs,to reassure ourselves out of passion.
But the focus is the child itself
we make babies because we need them
we need them because they need us
The bond that makes us Children to our parents.parents.
And parents to our children is indestructible. We have Children to Honor our parents a debt that can never be paid,
only transferred."you are not only my son,"
Maimonides,a 12th-century philosopher once told his child."you are also my father's grandson."
