Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that simply having children does not automatically qualify someone as a good or responsible parent. The analogy drawn between having a piano and being a pianist highlights the distinction between possession and proficiency. In the same way that owning a piano does not automatically grant musical talent, having children does not inherently make someone adept at parenting. It implies that being a parent requires active involvement, nurturing, and the willingness to invest time and effort to develop a meaningful and fulfilling relationship with one's children.
