These last couple days/weeks have had some crazy things happen. A guy just got barely a slap on the wrist after being convicted of sexual assault. Last night 50 people were killed in a nightclub. Things like this are part of why I was hesitant to bring a child into this world.
Fortunately my wife helped me change my mind. I couldn’t be happier than I am now.
These last couple events, especially that shooting, got me thinking again. I realized all I can do is raise my son to do the right thing. I just have to lay the foundation to make him know that these sorts of things aren’t right. And at the same time I have to teach him to see the positive in the world. Watching the news can make you think all that happens is bad, but there is lots of beauty.
There are lots of nice people doing nice things. I need to teach him to do nice things. I am teaching him to appreciate nature. I am trying to keep him happy.
There may be terrible things going on, but I don’t regret having my son. I just need to do what I can to leave this world a little better for him.
