So, Todd witnessed one of those typical college discussions that revolve around a topic that only the professor has any sort of valid experience with.
I would have loved to have been there. I remember that I was once chanted the mantra that was talked about in his blog. However, I'm not as idealistic as I was once. I think I will end up practicing some form of birth control.
Questions that have crossed my mind since entering the real world:
(1) What happens if a child gets cancer? Time and money will be invested in this child. Would I dare risk putting another child through this?
(2) What happens if in between every pregnancy I have a miscarriage? (My mom had 2 children and 2 miscarriages, its a valid question) Do I dare risk "killing" another child?
(3) What happens if I have a child that demands excessive attention (like their mother), should I just tell that child "Get over it, you can't be the only one in my world"?
I just think that I was once a very idealistic young adult. There are real situations, real emotions, and real people to take into consideration. I highly doubt any of those students would admit that we are or should be stoics. However, the way they/we argue would make you wonder.
