Ummm .. I didn't realize human babies were cute.
I never thought they were either, however I can't say that I have decidedly decided that they aren't given the fact that I think I was a cute baby - perhaps it's a familial thing. Like it's easier to feel connected to a baby cat or dog or another animal because we may be more comfortable with them. But a human baby requires so much more investment. Like, if we truly allowed ourselves to view them as cute then we would just love them completely and that could be a painful thing if it is not our own child. The last time I saw a baby it was a baby that was only a day old, I felt so tenderly facinated and saddened at the same time because I was all too aware that this child was going to be quickly corrupted by the world. Perhaps such awareness makes us keep an emotional distance from those tiny humans.
