Monsters and the abyss

"Whoever fights monsters
should see to it that in the process
he does not become a monster.

And when you look long into an abyss
the abyss also looks into you."

(Nietzsche)

  1. How about:

    Whoever cares for toddlers
    should see to it that in the process
    he does not become a toddler.

    And when you look long into a tantrum
    the tantrum also looks into you.
