LifeLine-Families
with lots of children are no longer considered examples of generosity, but
rather irresponsibility. {Our culture says that} children with severe
disabilities are not special angels sent to us by God, but drains on the
economy; better that they were not born. And the elderly are burdens. But if we
succeed in pushing away everyone who is dependent, then we’re left with
ourselves, our ego-centric, sin-rationalizing, defensive, irritable and vain
selves. If we never learn to give till it hurts, till the painful reality that
we’re not the center of the universe sinks in, we will fail at marriage, at
parenthood, at citizenship, even at simple neighborliness.
~ William E. May. “On Being a Burden to One’s Family,” Culture of
Life Foundation Briefs (3/26/10)
