ON HUMAN OFFSPRING

1) Some animals bear offspring and release them into the wild

2) The offspring must find a way to survive

3) There is a possibility that humans and their offspring would be served well to follow suit

4) Virtually every adult is still a child

5) He is learning about him or herself

6) When this human has offspring, no matter what his adult age, he is in many ways unready to guide the offspring

7) As for the offspring, they succumb to human nature. For if you give a creature the comforts he desires, it becomes difficult for him to develop Drive

8) Release him into the jungle, and he learns how to survive

9) In the jungle, he has no time to waste his life

10) In the jungle, there are no cell phones or social media

11) In the jungle, there is primal survival, primal drive, and no other options

12) Parents lean on their offspring, and offspring lean on their parents

13) This leaning produces dependency

14) This dependency ultimately gives way to resentments

15) The parent lives a life of hope for the offspring

16) The offspring seeks freedom from the parent

17) Relationships that maintain their human-to-human fundamental tend to remain True

18) An element of "stranger" must remain preserved in any relationship

20) For if there is not, the complex leaning eventually collapses

Namaste.
