@cjsdns, what a beautifully written piece! The way you've intertwined the essence of "Nongshim" (the farmer's heart) with the parallels of raising children is truly touching. The analogy of nurturing crops to raising children, highlighting the dedication, worries, and ultimate joy, resonates deeply.

The lines about the balance of care and self-reliance, both for crops and kids, really struck a chord. It's that delicate dance of providing enough without hindering their ability to thrive independently. Your reflection on the happiness found in raising children, despite the hardships, is a universal sentiment that many can connect with. This post is more than just words; it's a heartfelt reflection on life's most meaningful endeavors. Thank you for sharing such a poignant and relatable piece! I'm sure it will spark a lot of thoughtful conversation here on Steemit.
