I Saw a Little Baby Today...

[Image]

A very little baby, an infant. Only in this world a few days, kind of baby.

He hasn’t seen the beauty of a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis nor a shooting star. He doesn’t know how cruel one human being can be to another. He only knows he needs to survive.

I don’t know his parents and they don’t know me. But I know they must be sad and worried. My heart sighs for them. I know all too well…

The doctors say he isn’t perfect. To me he looked perfect…

Who ever knows just what his perfect nature will be, who he’ll grow to, what he’ll inspire in people, his parents, his friends. We are all born into this world connected not only to our parents but to the world at large. Who knows who his imperfection may teach. We’re all connected to each other in profound ways…

But for now, he’s just a little baby who’s struggling to be alive in this world. Not very different from you and me…

are you gonna pass that shit at some point or are you just gonna smoke it all by yourself?

.....and yet you would sacrifice that baby to your pagan gods

When confronted by government and the brutality of man empowered, were there no God, someone would invent one out of necessity if only to render the illusion of hope, even if in the next life.

A life does offer access to all the horrors of the world.

A life also offers access to the opportunites to create beauty in the world and cherish friends and family.

As a mom of two children not born perfect, I just encourage them to focus on the second, as the first is entirely out of their control.

I stopped sharing a long time ago. Now, we each get our own to do with when we want...

.....and yet you would sacrifice that baby to your pagan gods

Fortunately, unlike others, we get to pick and choose what gods we play with...

I hope they're able to see past the first to get to the second, Reci.

I hope they're able to see past the first to get to the second, Reci.

I hope so also. It's always an individual's choice. It's up to a parent to provide an example and enough good advice and inspiration so it's in a child's brain like a treasure trove to withdraw when needed.

But parents and kids both have to accept that there's a lot they can't control in order to not be paralyzed by the enormity of the whole deal.

I don't want to change the world, just keep my corner of it the best I can.

Every time I see a baby, I think, "Thank God it's not mine!"

 

[killallhippies]

greedy fuck.

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

Abortion is Natures way of managing Demokkkrats.

You and me both. Even if they are perfect, they grow up and sometimes die while you're watching...

greedy fuck.

I gave you one to do with what you wanted, you ungrateful cretin!

I have no problem with abortion. As wonderful as these parents may be I have no doubt that in their darkest moments and the quietest recesses of their minds there might be a thought that maybe wanders in that direction...

Ahhh babies.

i'm sure you're quite pleased with the fact that your parents' minds didn't wander in that direction too much.

I've had a baby that wasn't "perfect" and one that was. I'm thankful for both.

 

[bluemuse]

I have a client who gave birth a month ago to a baby boy who was two months premature. She can't bring him home yet because he hasn't learned to root on the nipple and suck. There is a possibility that he has brain damage, but they won't know to what extent, if any, for months.
When she showed me a picture of her little fighter, I could see the pride in her eyes for her perfect baby boy.

 

[killallhippies]

don't make me sad. it's too early for feelings.

 

[blobfish]

He can also swim. Newborn babies can swim.

 

[VaticanAssassin]

No dead baby jokes yet? The assholes are slipping.......

 

[run_silent]

When I struggle with the world and things I can't control I never find peace. Acceptance or as I prefer to call it recognizing unchangeable reality I learn how to adapt to it. Then I find peace with myself.

They were both "perfect"

We all have our challenges.

No, they're both perfect without the quotes.

No, they're both perfect without the quotes.

Folks like you always return kids to the orphanage.
