This is the way most parent-child relationships are, this is the way most families are constructed—not on the foundation of love and Truth, but merely as institutions that exist for society’s sake.
How often do a man and a woman come together for the sake of Truth? How many people really know what it means to love? And if you do not know what love is, how will you just miraculously and selectively love your wife and your kids?
Go deep and figure out what the real nature of association between human beings is. Why do we, as we are, relate to each other at all? Figure out your dependencies. Enquire into the relationships. That’s the advice.
