One word that is no longer heard these days is "self-discovery.
"Who I am"
This is a philosophical question, but I know the best and shortest way to find the answer.
Becoming a Party to "Childcare" and/or "Caregiving"
That's all.
-----
I can already "see" myself that I didn't recognize.
Especially when I reach my physical and mental limits, I can see nakedly the "black emotions" that lurk within me -- I am surprised at myself.
It is said that "the nature of a person is revealed on the battlefield under extreme conditions.
"In this sense, "childcare" and "caregiving" could be described as a quasi-battlefield situation.
-----
Of course, you do not have to go to the battlefield by preference.
Is it OK to live in evasion of these things? -- it's OK (Rakuten Card commercial style).
-----
However, speaking personally -- I think that people who have been "involved in "childcare" and/or "caregiving" are "trustworthy".
On the other hand, we are also aware that this "experience-history principle" has become a breeding ground for so-called marriage harassment, childcare harassment, and caregiver harassment.
