It is not enough to just think about protecting a child. He needs to know how to protect himself when he is an adult. He can withstand the blows of fate, no matter whether he is rich or poor. It can also survive on rocks.It is futile for you to protect him from his death, he will die after all.Even if he didn't die because of your overprotection, overprotection is wrong.Teach him how to live, not how not to die.Life is not just breathing, it's action, using our senses, our minds, our faculties, making every part of our being feel.A keen sense of life is more meaningful than the length of life.
