European Love

In most cultures families are timid to show their affections to their children, perhaps, if they were more adoring and affectionate their children would not succumb to drug ailments, suicide and bad company, Some parents think over emoting makes the children too comfy, Yet, the Europeans feel no shame to call their spawns endearing names, smothering them with love from birth, going beyond male-female barriers and showing their adoration with whimsical kisses to make their children feel cherished, While, around the rest of the globe, many stifle their public displays of caring, and their families wither away from lack of attention, like flowers they disintegrate right before their beloveds' eyes, because they feel too awkward to show the emotions they have been suppressing, The feelings go unexpressed, and they succumb to lives that are depressing.
