With their baby daughter due to arrive any day now, expectant couple Drew and Francesca Mott have reportedly been scrambling this week to cobble together a working system of ethical principles and moral values they can pass along to their first child. We kept putting off building a set of prescriptive personal beliefs, but now were down to the wire and still havent hammered out firm attitudes toward right and wrong, self-discipline, generosity, table manners, personal integrity, or any of that, said the soon-to-be father as he and his wife quickly attempted to slap together a coherent worldview encompassing the basic nature of mankind, ones obligations to others as human beings, and what defines a well-lived life. The Golden Rule seems like a pretty safe bet, right? Lets throw that in there. And we havent even thought about a work ethicdo we want to instill a deep sense of dedication and focus or leave more freedom to pursue rewarding outside interests? I wish wed gotten around to this sooner. At press time, reports confirmed the couple had relaxed upon realizing that at a certain age their child would just systematically reject any values they impressed upon her anyway.
