Michael Sandel Quotes About Parenthood

• Parental love is not contingent on the talents and attributes the child happens to have. We choose our friends and spouses at least partly on the basis of qualities we find attractive. But we do not choose our children. Their qualities are unpredictable, and even the most conscientious parents cannot be held wholly responsible for the kind of child they have. That is why parenthood, more than other human relationships, teaches what the theologian William F. May calls an “openness to the unbidden.

  Children, Love Is, Parent

• La paternidad es una escuela de humildad. No podemos elegir los rasgos precisos de nuestros hijos, y eso es moralmente importante. Nos enseña lo que William May, un teólogo al que admiro mucho, llama "una apertura a lo no prohibido".

• The other effect that I worry about is the effect on the parent, that the moral teaching of humility and of the limits to our control that parenthood teaches- - that that will be lost and that we will begin to think of children more as consumer goods than as gifts that we can't fully control and for which we aren't fully responsible.
