Some Thoughts
- The simple act of taking care of a living creature is transformative.
- All the little things you must do for a helpless creature to keep it alive cause you to love it.
- Small children are a mood-altering substance.
- The consequences of risk-taking behavior become less acceptable: you become (appropriately) more risk averse.
