Trust grows when babies and mothers establish that they can find each other again after the inevitable moments of losing touch. it is not the goodness of the mother or the relationship per se that is the basis for trust; it is the ability of mother and baby together to repair the breaks in their relationship that builds a safe house for love.

Trust Grows When Babies And Mothers Establish

More From Carol Gilligan

Wherever life is, its main objective is to keep going, and it always wins. and nature? it's all built into nature. survivability, life perpetuating. and that means there have to be babies. baby everything! baby birds, baby human beings, baby ants. you name it. there have to be babies, and what has to happen for there to be babies? okay, birds and bees. what has to happen for that to happen? it's all intertwined, and it's all nature, and the left has come along and tried to monkey with it by politicizing as much of it as they can for whatever just really convoluted reasons.

We need money to scale up the services that bring medicine to mothers. the united states government's doing that. there's a global fund that's providing money. mothers2mothers provides for mothers who come in who don't have education, who don't have support. mothers2mothers employs mothers with hiv, mothers who were patients recently in the very same facilities. we take those mothers who were patients who've had their babies, we bring them back, we train them, we pay them, to be health care professionals.

I think of the chimp, the one with the talking hands. in the course of the experiment, that chimp had a baby. imagine how her trainers must have thrilled when the mother, without prompting, began to sign her newborn. baby, drink milk. baby, play ball. and when the baby died, the mother stood over the body, her wrinkled hands moving with animal grace, forming again and again the words: baby, come hug, baby come hug, fluent now in the language of grief.
Mother Baby Grief
We proclaim human intelligence to be morally valuable per se because we are human. if we were birds, we would proclaim the ability to fly as morally valuable per se. if we were fish, we would proclaim the ability to live underwater as morally valuable per se. but apart from our obviously self-interested proclamations, there is nothing morally valuable per se about human intelligence.
Self Bird Underwater
Moss grows where nothing else can grow. it grows on bricks. it grows on tree bark and roofing slate. it grows in the arctic circle and in the balmiest tropics; it also grows on the fur of sloths, on the backs of snails, on decaying human bones. ... it is a resurrection engine. a single clump of mosses can lie dormant and dry for forty years at a stretch, and then vault back again into life with a mere soaking of water.
Lying Years Circles
The only thing that really matters is that there be an action of goodness, love and intelligence in living. is goodness individual or collective, is love personal or impersonal, is intelligence yours, mine or somebody else? if it is yours or mine then it is not intelligence, or love, or goodness. if goodness is an affair of the individual or of the collective, according to one's particular preference or decision, then it is no longer goodness.
