📝The Classic Answers
The I Ching said a house that piles up goodness will surely have blessing to spare. Parenting is not one great decision but the accumulation of a little goodness piled up each day. There is no perfect parent. It is enough to stack tenderness toward a child day by day, even while stumbling clumsily and regretting. I treat being a good parent like an exam and despair at my shortfall each time. Yet a household's blessing grows not from perfection but from faithful repetition. The small goodness piled up today, though unseen at once, remains and overflows into a child's life later. Rather than aiming at perfection, I choose to be one who piles up daily goodness.
