Human beings are the only creatures on earth that allow their children to come back home.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Humans are the only animals that have children on purpose with the exception of guppies, who like to eat theirs.
I don't think of kids as a lower form of the human species.
However painful the process of leaving home, for parents and for children, the really frightening thing for both would be the prospect of the child never leaving home.
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
There are so many kids in this world, and in this country, that need homes. And so we're perfectly content to look into adoption one day, if for some reason we aren't able to have a biological child.
There are a lot of people who want to leave their children with a world that is in better shape.
I see children, all children, as humanity's most precious resource, because it will be to them that the care of the planet will always be left.
Leaving home in a sense involves a kind of second birth in which we give birth to ourselves.
Our babies are like penguins; penguin babies can't exist unless more than one person is taking care of them. They just can't keep going.
We consider all our animals to be our kids.
