Language And Science

How much do folks realize
that the word 'realize'
has two distinct meanings?

1- 'to make happen', or causation.

2- 'to become aware of', to observe.

If one accepts genetic explanations
for the cause of homosexuality
then both parent and child will realize,
in different ways, that the child cared for
will stray from what has gone before.

The parents are the first to realize
the potential in the child,
through parental causation.

The child will realize, as they observe,
the emotional inheritance that becomes theirs
as they discover the flaws in their parents ambitions.

History has spilled a lot of ink
on the subject of ambitious parents
who were plain wrong about their children.

In this world all parenting is errant,
and we should all be more observant.
