Water of care

Caring about children is like watering plants: too little makes them dry, too much makes them rotten.

Questions and answers

An answer puts everything in its proper place, but in a question those proper places are still uncertain and prone to change. An illusion of freedom.

Life choices

How many times, when I regretted not doing something, I wished so badly to be able to replay the situation or to get a similar chance. 

But on thinking again, could I have really done anything differently under those past circumstances?

And being completely frank, would I really do anything so much differently if I was faced with a similar situation these days?

Well, maybe.

At least, I hope so.

Understanding art


Columbo: Could you explain this? 

Francine: Well you see, we don't explain art, I mean, that's just sort of something you feel. You see, you look at a picture or a piece of sculpture and that either does something for you or it doesn't, you know.

Becoming an adult

Children consume and have no responsibility for what they do.

Adults create and have responsibility for their actions.

Being an adult may be more challenging (and indeed many adults would like to keep a child-like lifestyle), but eventually, it's much more satisfying and empowering.
