Mmm... I can't quite see how this follows. Are you suggesting breastfed
and well-nurtured babies will grow into adults who can afford to pay for
better nursing homes?
Dear Friends:
I was thinking that children give back to us what we teach them. If we
have parented in a distant fashion, and put them into daycare and ignored
their cries, we are teaching them. And one day, in the future, when we are
helpless because we are old, these children will give back to us the teachings we
have given to them.
There is not enough money available (for most people) to provide care to
babies or to the elderly that is as good as we would want for ourselves.
