Kids: Why Don’t We?

Children are amazing.  Children are precious.  Children are the gems of life.

I know a great many people and I mix with ever-growing circles in society through my work.  During these moments, I get to know the personal side of folks from all over the planet.

The one thing I look for, to see how well we will be able to connect on a personal level, is what they think of children.  It’s key.

It will tell you how they think of the world, how determined they are according to being of service or selfishness and it tells me how committed they are to their fellow human beings.  These are all critical factors in my line of work, and my beloved children have given me the key.

How do you feel about children?

Are they an inconvenience, or do they make your heart sing, your lungs fill with laughter and you mind twist to follow them through the uncharted waters of their imagination?  Do you take advantage of seeing the world again for the very first time and living life from a view free of judgment, cruelty and malice?

Try it sometime, it’s bliss.

Children make everything worthwhile and give my own live extreme value.  They are the motivating factor of my existence and the power that allows me to get up one more time…and to reach for the impossible.

I feel sorry for the selfish and ignorant who choose not to have children.

…for those of you who have been denied children, you’re in my prayers.
