This is also when you realize the insidious power of the “think of the children” argument. When someone manipulates you to think of your own children, they trigger that base instinct that’s hard to fight.

Many of the problems in the world boil down to intentional and unintentional manipulation of basic instincts/ traits/ weaknesses of humans. The biggest way to fight this is simply making people aware of them.

This sentiment used to annoy me as it seemed like a non-sequitur.

Now that I'm a father I'm much more wary of it because I know just what it means.
