Such a beautiful piece and surely one of the greatest fears as future parents. I am not a parent yet but as a daughter myself and with carful examination of my own life’s successes and tragedies, I have come to the conclusion that we are brought up to become some sort of sacrifice to the world which is necessary for us to evolve into who we could be. Which means our father’s won’t always be there for us and that might happen partially or altogether, either way it’s for our greatest good. Ultimately I believe it’s the fathers who have the tendency to value the children for what they could be. But yes, the fear does exist in this century, the 21st century, I worry about it too.
I enjoyed reading this piece Mr. Arek!
