I heard recently, from a new father, that a little expressed secret of the onset of fatherhood, is the immediate and complete loss of “love” for your pets.

It is like a candle sitting in front of a sun, is how I interpreted it. And if the candle ever dared to illuminate a space reserved for the sun’s radiance? The candle would be extinguished with prejudice.

And this blowing out of the old scale is why it’s impossible to communicate certain ideas from one state to the other, pre-fatherhood to fatherhood. How do you explain daylight to someone who has never stepped out of their cave?

Anyways, whatever. Good article.
