Disheartened by some recent personal events, I felt compelled to write this:
We do not "own" our kids - they belong to the universe. In a sense, we are temporary custodians, entrusted to raise them and, we should be honoured. If you have children, biological or otherwise, you really must do your best to love, respect and nuture them - so that they make physically and emotionally healthy members, not just of your own family but, of the universal family. This is our responsibilty as parents, whether or not our own parents did their best with us.
Children deserve this and more.
