Quote
Because a child is bound to grow, society is intent upon cultivating the child’s mind to mature into a very specific type of responsible person.

Analogous to how we teach a child to develop vision by exposing them to visual stimulus a person must learn how to love by immersing themselves in the quick of nature and actively engaging in the tumult of family life. We become loveable by being a loving person. We find ourselves by devoting our lives to the service of other people.
