I don't think it's a perspective - I believe I was fortunate to have the support system that I had. As a child you are supposed to be protected and cared for. And I hope that I can do the same for my children.

Maybe you mistook my perspective for hubris - but it is what childhood should be - innocent and pure and if it's not, then society is failing.

I am sorry if I misunderstand something here – to be honest, English never was my forte, so I may miss some subtlety.

I did not take your post as a form of hubris. What I meant when I wrote about perspective is that personal experiences shape our assessment of reality. I agree that childhood should be innocent and pure. But sometimes, it is not.

No offense taken at all - I agree those formative years of childhood shape our view of the world. Hope we don't let the bad experiences color the future.
