Parents, however old they and we may grow to be, serve among other things to shield us from a sense of our doom. As long as they are around, we can avoid the fact of our mortality; we can still be innocent children.

My parents worry all the time because I trust people very easily.

Our parents have, by far, the greatest influence on shaping who we are and how we deal with the world.

I'm worried about parents who aren't parenting.

Vaccines save lives; fear endangers them. It's a simple message parents need to keep hearing.

There is risk and truth to yourselves and the world before you.

I'm not in the business of warning people.

So what are we given? We're also given, my generation, the disillusionment of our parents.

We live in an unsafe world.
