Ah, I relate so much to this essay. It's hard to realize that whatever our parents think is the best way to survive is already outdated, however well-intentioned. I try to remind myself that the ancestral goal is one towards happiness.
Another way I've been thinking about this: None of us are living in the world we were raised in. Yet I'll have my own blind spots once I'm a parent haha
