I saw a story about a elderly rabbi who was handing out candy to children.
His grandson wondered why he was showing them so much love.
He responded that maybe one of them will one day be the Gadol Hador.
That is a painful story to read and the publishers should not have published it.
Children deserve love not because they one day might be Gedolim.
Children deserve love because they exist.
Love is the oxygen of the soul. To deny them love is to choke them.
