Bringing a boy into a troubling world…

I think we all have to agree… terrorists are pussies. They hide and they run. They live in the shadows because they know they will get crushed if they are found. But regardless of how pussy they are, they still rest at the back of my mind. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately, and frankly I’m scared. I am very excited to be having a brand new boy in June, but at the same time I am very scared.

Why, you ask? I think our world is very, very troubling. Think about it: cancer, terrorists, war, disease, suicide, tragic car accidents. I don’t think anyone thinks about this until they actually bring new life into this world. It is very hard to justify bringing such an innocent child into such a harsh reality.

On the flipside of that, the world really is a wonderful place. I mean there’s candy, movies, happy times, teenage mutant ninja turtles, superheroes, and so on. Not to mention all the fun times I’ll have playing with our boy. Babies themselves make this world a wonderful place. They’re just so innocent and happy.
So I look at it as sort of a bargain. When you bargain, you are getting something you want, but at the same time you are getting something you don’t want. I definitely want a new boy, but at the same time I don’t want him to be exposed to all the violence and fear and death in our world. Eventually, I will probably realize that all the good times we have will blow away all the hard times.

So Osama bin Laden and all you other no life terrorists out there: you can try all you want to try to intimidate me and to try to steal my joy away from my family, but you will do it all in vain. You will never succeed. You will die in a cave in the middle of nowhere as a sad and lonely man because you will realize that you lived a pathetic life.

So I have come to a conclusion. Never hesitate about bringing an innocent child into this world just because there are bad things in it. The good times that you have with your child are far more than the few rough times in life. And besides, there is a small chance that your child may grow up to defeat cancer and war and disease. Who knows?
