When you plant your life in a pot, its roots will feebly search for fertile ground, but will be stopped by the boundaries imposed upon it. It can only get so big.
Quote
Some people occasionally move their pot to a sunnier spot on the porch. Maybe they move it to a different city, different country, or different continent...Having a child is the ultimate change agent. Rather than being a tidy exercise in maintaining the suburban status quo – as might be professed by Generation Cynic – the act of parenting is akin to inciting a revolution. Taking a perfectly good, tidy adult life, and introducing a tiny, helpless anarchist who lacks coordination and basic language skills means your life is turned completely on its neat little ass.

the world opens up to you; it unfolds like a book on a shelf that you’d never thought to pick up. But when you do, it opens like a complex and delicate universe; with each turn of the page, you go deeper and deeper into a world you thought you knew, but really, you had no idea. This is a world you could never have imagined had you not planted that seed.

All of a sudden I was full of empathy for every asshole I’d ever had to deal with (maybe not the defriender. She’s a bit of a cow actually).

Bunk.
You're not going to open up new worlds by going back into old worlds. Children are all about basic chores. You'll not open up new worlds by teaching some kid to tie its shoes.
You'll not become an Anarchist by cutting up hot dogs.
You don't go forward by going backward.
I think these Cows are trying to convince themselves that their lives now have more meaning. It's likely just the wine and Xanax talking.

The first time I held my first born, it felt as though I held the whole world in my hands. Every man I’d ever loved or hated or been afraid of was there in my arms in the shape of a delicate, perfectly formed baby boy.

One could read some shit into this about the moo's mental state. Sorry you've been abused by men but hiding behind the golden penis chyld isn't going to resolve your issues with that and will only damage the kyd as he gets older. But you will turn him into a whiny mooma's boy now wontcha? Because you obviously fear men. And single people, and CF people. Projection, jealousy, fear, be thy MOOOOOO.
