The only reason parents love their children is so that in turn their children can pass on the love they were given, so when a child is never given love from their parent the next generation will never know how to show compassion.
this is a thought that haunts me and also gives me hope, because if we all stopped caring for our children or fuck up somehow all generations after will be scarred but if we nurture our kids and others that don't know this same compassion then the world would know true peace and serenity.
