At 20 my parents knew zero, and at 40, they seem to have learnt a lot. Why is this so? What if there is an inherent detachment from the governing power structure (parents) to allow for the evolution of actions as it propagates within society? That it is imperative that one rebels to their power structure and goes out to see if all the dangers they were warned of were at least partly sound. Within this rebellion one would begin to sit with their moral compass, to take responsibility and front accountability for their actions. Given the freedom (by themselves or otherwise) to make those decisions where they learn how to become dependent on themselves. The child must mature to the teen, and the teen, the adult. For the majority that stay stuck at teen, it is the fire which has scorched the very aspiring adult in their path to constructing a context to which they can make decisions outside their governing body.

The parental at its core is to pass on the wisdoms of one’s mistakes while subjugating the student to zero of the same pains that brought it to realisation. As with all things, there is the balance, or rather: counter-balance.

A sheltered child must and will rebel eventually, it is the question of how it is to be expressed, and whether it can be done, whether the parental allows the flight. Else the parental becomes the tyrant, and it is within one’s duty to escape tyranny. The counter-balance is where the child is safely dangerous within their actions and learnings.

Meditate.
