what do you tell your child
if you ask them
what do you wanna be when you grow up & they say idk? & look back at you
what is the healthiest, safest, life affirming, life sustaining profession you could gently suggest? where they would smile sometimes, where they could reasonably afford to feed themselves? have a roof over their heads? not cause any problem to anyone
where they could live according to their ethics, reasonably speaking
like, keeping their job wouldnt cost them their soul. like, not arms manufacturing if they are a pacifist child.
could we make a list?
how short is the list
