I stumbled onto a website while researching and found that this was their quote of the day:
'Better murder an infant in its cradle than nurse an unacted desire.'
I thought to myself, what does this mean..? Does it involve unplanned pregnancies, abortions...?
What's your interpretation?
im thinking .. and I may be wrong but it means if you had the desire to lay down and get pregnant why kill the infant in your womb ... or if you took the time to have sex ... why not take the time to carry that child to term instead of killing it ... I want to know what the real meaning is too lol
better to kill an innocent than to brood over or waste over your desires or dreams that you dont even try to realize/make possible.
one can lose their mind over desire.
I take it as: if you aren't going to put effort into something, don't start in the first place. I may be getting metaphorical here, but I don't know what the context is.
