Children

Children are like insects. They are essential to the ecosystem; they are needed to make the world complete. Their hustle and bustle can sometimes even be a desirable add-on effect to the natural surroundings. It is like when you go on a picnic in the meadows, you need the insects to complete the scene and make for an authentic and pleasurable outdoor event. You like them from afar but you do not want to be personally close to any of them. You make sacrifices to secure their survival; you fight passionately to protect their collective existence, but you do not hold personal endearment to their individuals. You do not want them in your kitchen; you do not welcome their intrusion into your personal space.
