idk i think the reason that i love kids so much (and why i don't get ppl who hate kids and make it their personality to hate kids and be terrible to them) is that they're people and people that are learning to be people for the first time and so like you have the opportunity to teach them what love and kindness and goodwill and beauty looks like and feels like and is and you just. choose not to? and now that new little person is going to go out into this world and through their life for who knows how long (maybe all of it!) thinking that the world is only badness and hate and being mean so of course that's all they're going to put back into it bc that's all they were given. that's all they think there is. so like. idk if you're an adult maybe don't be mean to kids just bc you can. just a thought. bc maybe you're the only adult that kid has ever encountered that will demonstrate that the default is actually not badness. and that hate is actually the exception and we're supposed to love but some of us weren't taught what that actually looks like so we have to learn it later. idk maybe don't be an asshole to kids.
