very wholesome, 10/10 would recommend.
This was on the door to my office before my life ended in 2018.
Thank you for making me remember and cry.
I’ve had this very exact thought. I think the urge to tell the story of the world is parental instinct.
Whenever the kiddos ask a question, I don’t stop answering and describing until they get bored… Sometimes beyond that.
I have the same urge, but rather to be a teacher/mentor than a parent. Too bad the US doesn’t want to pay teachers what they’re worth, or I’d strongly consider a career change.
I’ve had the exact same thought and it’s not just in the US. Teachers are woefully underpaid in general. I think a part of the problem is that there’s so many teachers that it would very expensive for society as a whole to give them a higher salary. I would totally do teaching if it paid better though.
It’s pretty fascinating that babies are largely the same across big timescales and just learn the culture of the time. They are ready to learn “utopia”, we just have to figure out how to teach it.
daily reminder i will die alone.
I’ve already resigned to the fact that I will probably die alone in an apartment not to be found for weeks because no one checks in on me other than my parents. I won’t kill myself, but I’m not good at socializing
