It might sound funny at times when we hear people talk about having the ability to choose a type of child they want, maybe in some kind of baby market square, or just buy them from a row in the mall, or have the ability to mold one by themselves. It sounds impossible, but in some ways, it has been possible and happening in life.
What’s the reason why we keep praying and praying over time? We wish for a patient and lovely child. Some wish and pray for a handsome boy and a beautiful girl, some for patriotic kids, some want a child who can dance and act well, some want a child who is academically brilliant and talented in certain fields of life, and the list of wants continues.
Why do you think some keep birthing children even when they know they have gotten to the peak amount they can cater for, but they still give birth out of hope? I have seen families that keep giving birth just to have a female child, but in the end old age was the barrier between them. For such people don’t you think if they had the chance to pick a child of their choice they won’t?
If not that life has been naturally planned out, there is nothing we can do about it, our fate, destiny, choices, and decisions are all predestined. The fact that we don't know it is the reason why we keep wishing and hoping. But in the end, what happens to us most often is what's best for us.
What if I could choose the baby I want?
That’s something cool. I will choose a child who is multi-talented, and also choose a child who is fully talented in my career path. What's the essence of running or building a project and it ends up running down in the end? The beauty of it is to have it run for generations to come. Those who can handle that are the downlines after us.
I have seen a lot of wealthy families have a turn of fate because there is no one to continue with the generational wealth. Many talents sink into the ocean of no return just because there is no one to keep up with them. Lots of ideas remained ideas just because there was no one to execute them. That's just life at times.
It is said that when bananas and plantains are about to die, then it leaves behind countless baby suckers. This is why it's not always easy to erase and eradicate a plantation where bananas or plantains were once farmed.
In conclusion, it's a good thing if humans are given the chance to pick their baby type, just the way we were born into different classes and families, that's just the same way our parent choices will differ.
In the end, it might not be suitable for the child and wish for a change. The imbalance will remain the same. So it's best we just don't have the chance to do so. If not, the parents will surely be the ones responsible and take all the blame.
This is my response to the HIVE LEARNERS weekly prompt in the hive-learners community for the Week 168 Edition 3, and the topic to be discussed is A PERFECT BABY.
