Most parents love to introduce their children, at one time or another to Caractacus Potts, the lovable and eccentric inventor at the center of Ian Fleming's story 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.'
A single father who daily cares for his young son and daughter, filling their minds and hearts with magic and dreams ~ placing before them a world of the possible.
But in the nasty real world, it quite another story.
Men like 'Potts' have little place in the heart of modern civilized society. They are thought of as impractical, delusional, irresponsible, unreliable men who do not really 'work' ~
After all, if there is not a predictable pay check at the end of the day ...
Mothers of children sired by the Caractacus Potts of this world most often wish, once the'Potts' have planted their seed, that they then would just go away, disappear, and passively allow their offspring be molded and shaped by the practical whims of the more reasonable people.
Quite sad really ~
Be a piss poor world without those among us committed to labor long and hard unrewarding hours until finally capturing passionate dreams, the true sustenance of life in this world gone mad
