Quote by Pope John XXIII

It is easier for a father to have children than for children to have a real father.

It is easier for a father to have children than for children

Summary

This quote suggests that simply being the biological father does not automatically make a person a "real" father. It implies that being a father goes beyond just biological necessity and requires the presence, involvement, and commitment of a parent in the lives of their children. It highlights the importance of emotional connection, support, guidance, and nurturing in establishing a meaningful father-child relationship. Consequently, it implies that true fatherhood is a substantial and challenging responsibility that cannot be fulfilled solely by biological ties.
