"Getting after this terrible, avoidable waste of human potentiality is what gets me out of bed every morning."
- Marcus Buckingham -
Every potential child,
every infant that has begun to grow in her mother's womb, represents an inestimable potential for wonder, for good, for the blessing of all of mankind.
Thinking of what might have been...
Have you ever wondered, "What if...?"
What if Harriet Tubman had been discarded before birth? Florence Nightingale? Marie Curie?
Would you be reading your computer screen by candlelight, had NikolaTesla not created our modern-day electrical power infrastructure? Would you still be taking trains and buses, without the genius and sweat of the Wright Brothers?
It is the primarily self-centered,
almost solipsist inward focus of modern man that trivializes that potential. The culture of abortion on demand that has become so prevalent in modern times has made a god of convenience. Don't interrupt my plans, little one. My career, my education, my fun is worth far more than whatever life you might have lived...
How utterly sad.
Please open your eyes to the truth and reality of the potential of every life.
I would direct your attention to @inphiknit's original contest post here:
Please read his sensitive appeal. Consider "competing" in this contest in the days and hours that remain. Everyone wins...
This infant, 10-weeks from conception, was removed with the mother's uterus to save her life from cancer. I can scarcely imagine the heartbreak of that mother, of that family.
This meme is a response to @inphiknit's challenge.
Let us make it our purpose to save more lives.
May it be.
"I Love You, Mom..."
Are You A Sadist?
"I just know I would have been amazing..."

P.S. If you have an "in" with anybody at Steemit, Inc. - Would you please ask them to get rid of these damn, extremely annoying "off-website" arrow/boxes? The have, overnight, made Steemit ugly. There are much better solutions.
