We call the offspring our children
Then, nine months later a new human being inhabits the Earth, who is eager to learn, to discover, and to develop itself. We call the offspring our children, as though we had made them, while in reality we had almost nothing to do with the incredible process by which humanity continues to exist. It would be far more correct in this light to regard all children as the children of our humanity, and ourselves likewise, and to care for the children and for one another accordingly, universally.
