25% beauty, 75% shit
parents-to-be like to claim that they're bringing their child into a beautiful world, giving them the chance to experience all the beauty. i think it's something terribly vulgar because the world's not really that beautiful. alright, maybe 25% of it is beauty, but the other 75% is filled with shit.
so the child is born out of a lie. that's beauty at its finest.
when they imagine their child, it's always the cute little toddler, or the bright young student with a great future ahead. i don't believe that their imagination stretches out till when the child is 30 years old, facing the shit of this world. or when the child is 70, waiting to die by himself because his kids abandoned him.
they look at a cute little toddler and think "oh, my child is gonna be like him one day!"
they don't look at an old man and think, "oh, my child is gonna be like him one day!"
but the child could become just like the old man. or become a murderer or a cheat or a piece of shit.
or would you, as a parent, still have your child if you know he's gonna grow up and become a piece of shit? i think not.
but why? after all the original plan was to 'experience the beauty of this world', wasn't it? he would still experience the beauty, AND all the shit.
i wonder if bringing a child into this world means letting him choose his own path in life, even if you know he is definitely gonna become a piece of shit in the future.
[this came out really messy, totally unlike what i had in mind. i'm not sure if you'll get my point.]
