"子供を持つことの最大の素晴らしさは、自分の人生で自分自身を二番目にすることです。"
— Louis C.K.
Simplified Meaning:
When you have a child, they become your top priority, even more important than yourself. Imagine you have a favorite hobby, like painting. Before having a child, you might spend all day just painting and enjoying your time. But once you have a child, you might need to stop painting to take care of their needs. For example, if your child is hungry or needs help with homework, you would put down your brush and help them first. It doesn’t mean you stop enjoying painting; it just means your child’s needs come first. This shift happens because your love and responsibility for your child make you want to support and care for them more than anything else. So, most parents find joy and fulfillment in this, knowing they are making their child's life better.
