Sacrifice for Growth: The Cost of Parenting

The willingness to sacrifice what is most cherished for the greater good is a profound aspect of parenting. This principle is illustrated in biblical narratives, emphasizing that true love may require parents to allow their children to face the world, despite potential suffering. Abraham's readiness to sacrifice Isaac suggests that good parenting involves prioritizing a child's development over personal attachment. Similarly, Mary embodies this commitment by offering her child unreservedly to fulfill a higher purpose. The decline in birth rates can partly be attributed to the ethical dilemma women face about bringing children into a challenging world, reflecting a conflict between personal desires and societal responsibilities.
