More and more I notice that people have a huge cognitive dissonance in accepting that all people were once children and that these people they know and esteem were once someone’s burden. I also find it somehow naive to believe we are somehow not bound by our biological husk. We enjoy a good and full life on the backs of our parent’s toil, and due to not remembering or not being in contact with families we can feel that life is great and immortal and it always was. I like to think of the hard part of raising children as paying the debt we owe to our parents and ancestors. If not for their survival I would be able to say I am very glad and grateful to be alive and experience the wonders of the universe, wonders like math.
