“And the Children of the Warmakers're exempt from fighting their parents' war”

“War ... it paid well and liberated children from the pernicious influence of their parents.”

“In peace, children inter their parents; war violates the order of nature and causes parents to inter their children.”

“But that was war. Just about all he could find in its favor was that it paid well and liberated children from the pernicious influence of their parents.”

“But feel what happens in the soul when you imagine children saying to their parents, "What you gave me, first of all, wasn't the right thing, and secondly, it wasn't enough. You still owe me." What do children have from their parents when they feel that way? Nothing. And what do the parents have from their children? Also nothing. Such children cannot separate from their parents. Their accusations and demands tie them to their parents so that, although they are bound to their parents, the children have no parents. They then feel empty, needy and weak.This is the second Order of Love, that children take what their parents give in addition to life as it comes.”

“First we are children to our parents, then parents to our children, then parents to our parents, then children to our children”
