Man's children

What does it mean to say the boy and the girl (Ignorance and Want) are " Man's children"?

Because man is the one that creates Ignorance and Want by ignoring the needs and wants of those around them...and by keeping man in ignorance want is produced.

Because God does not create ignorance and want. That is created by man by the decisions and environment.
Every baby born has the potential of education. It is up to the people that are in charge to make sure that child gets it whether that is the ability to go to school or just to read free books from the library or sit and talk to them for free.
Want is a difficult one as people can't always be in charge of this but as we all know want increases as our attitudes change- meaning you can look at two families that have the same amount of worldly things and one can seem in want and one can seem satisfied. Want and ignorance, also, are not exclusive to the poor. There are plenty of wealthy people that are extremely ignorant and want more because they are not grateful for what they have.

Wow, that was very profound! I really liked what you had to say...particularly in the last paragraph!
