  When we talk about morality we are talking about our children. I just said that, but what does that mean? Alright, of course I can track it, of course you can track it, another way of acknowledging our children are hostages to fortune, but when we talk about our children what are we saying? Are we saying what it meant to us to have them? What it meant to us not to have them? What it meant to let them go? Are we talking about the enigma of pledging ourselves to protect the unprotectable?
