I think parenthood in part is an essential part of the human developmental cycle, which assists human beings in transitioning away from the self-centered childhood we ourselves go through, into a new cycle that parenting brings about whereby the individual learns other-centeredness. Learn how to place greater emphasis on giving and lesser emphasis on receiving. Those of us who are not able to experience parenting never quite get away from that self centeredness otherwise! Put another way, without this crucial experience it’s very difficult to learn selflessness! Especially if it is not ingrained and you pain the new during your developmental years through your parents.
In my humble experience it doesn’t take a whole lot to get the world working against you. All you gotta be is just a hair different in the wrong sorta way. Have a little bit of an attitude or a chip on your shoulder. Lack of basic understanding of the way mankind operates. Or just be around difficult or selfish people in general. 🤷♂️
Everyone has worth to God but not every one has worth to man! Everyone has worth in God’s eyes -but not everyone has worth in man’s. Even decent people back in the day, were survival with king; a man, a woman, a child were worth what they had to contribute, if they had nothing, if they were of no use, they were worth nothing. Sad but true 🤷♂️😏😔
