Day 1204 I'll hold my applause for now

Here’s a weird thought that circled my brain today. When a woman announces she’s pregnant the normal response is congratulations, I find this strange. What are we congratulating? You don’t know what the child will become. You’d like to imagine your spawn will be an asset to society, a positive addition to the community but you could be birthing the next dictator, scammer or knob who parks their lime bike in the middle of the pavement.
