I think that all of us either lose touch with the child inside us or try and hold onto it because it so precious to us and it's such an extraordinary part of our lives.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Nothing is more precious than life... especially the life of your child.
It's all kinds of these profound things crashing on you when your child arrives into the world. It's like you've met your reason to live.
The moment you have a child, in an instant your life is not for you, and your life is completely, 100 percent dedicated to another human being, and they will always come first. It changes you forever. It changes your perspective, and it gives you a nice purpose and focus.
I think every soft child in the world gets damaged. All of of us come into the world and get damaged. It's just a matter of how much.
I expected it to be overwhelming and all-encompassing, but having a kid brings you into the world in a whole different way.
I see that children fill the existential hollowness many people feel; that when we have children, we know they will need us, and maybe love us, but we don't have a clue how hard it is going to be.
There's love for your parents, your family, your spouse, your partner, your friends, but the nature of the connection you have with your child, there's nothing like it. It has its own character and it's so serious and so powerful, and so it's a prism through which I see everything.
A lot of things you see as a child remain with you... you spend a lot of your life trying to recapture the experience.
I just think that giving a child a chance and sharing what you have with a child is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, as well as a child.
Each time I free a child, I feel it is something closer to God.
