"Adjustments to society direct the growth of personality... Adjustment to your social situations gives meaning to your life... Happy is the man who lives in his social environment as easily and unconsciously as a fish in water... But whether we are aware of it or not, it is through adjustment to social situations" (not from the Word of God) "that we get our motivations... It is the interaction between your prior purposes and needs and your social pressures that make you do the way you do." (D. Fink - Psych) (62:7) "The unwaxed and unpolished truth is that many parents are jealous of their children, resent their presence and their needs, hate the responsibility that children bring, and even hate the children. This sounds harsh, but it is true. Many parents are childish. They have failed to grow up emotionally, and are in competition with their own children. So they hand down their nervousness to their children by failing to give their children and even break... Adult animosity and cruelty take many forms. They often hide behind a mask of good will and kindness." (D. Fink - Psych)
(62:8)
