I have never understood why anyone would want a child, but I finally get it. I understand why parenthood is appealing. Parents WANT to be parental. They WANT to be caring. They ACT diligently. There is nothing more parental than handling a small baby in the waiting toom. There is something so invigorating about taking care of something so pure. It ignites a million year old evolutionary passion within us. You feel on top of the world. You feel a conquering spirit overcome your body. You finally get to feed the parental hunger that society has tried to maintain for 60 years with a baby. It is mana from heaven.
