00:03You should not decide to give birth if you do not very very clearly see that you are in a position

00:10to mentor the kid, to bring up the kid in a healthy way.

00:13Instead, we give birth blindly, just biologically.

00:17In a moment of carnal pleasure, the kid is conceived.

00:20And then the kid is born.

00:21And then the kid's fortune is in the hands of two very very ignorant people

00:29Think of a new mother.

00:31Think of a father, a first time father.

00:35The mother is 27.

00:37The father is maybe 28 or 30.
