A piece about fatherhood, about the new generations to come, about the passage of knowledge and about LOVE! 
As I'm a few days from celebrating the first aniversary of my son, this new stage of my life, as a father, has deeply touched and changed me forever. I became more sensitive and emphatic than ever. 
It punches my heart every time I witness a baby or a child getting hurt, in any way. I often find myself looking at random people and trying to see the child they used to be. The same way I look at teenagers and think my baby will one day become this big... So many new layers of feelings to process everyday...
In the end it all comes to Love... That's the biggest responsability we have as a society, to love our children, to embrace and protect them forever and extend that love towards all other humans around us. That is the only path to a sustainable civilization.
