Parenting Makes You a Better Person
Parenting has been described as a transformative experience that shifts one's focus from personal preferences and optimization to nurturing a child's growth. The transition from a self-centered existence to one centered around a child's needs can lead to a profound shift in perspective. Parents often find relief in relinquishing their 'utility monster' status, prioritizing their child's well-being over personal desires. This shift towards selflessness and appreciation for the 'lore of the world' can lead to a sense of unjadedness and a deeper connection to the complexities of life.
