He did sense very well that this love, this blind love for his son, was apassion, something very human, that it was Sansara, a murky source, darkwaters. Nevertheless, he felt at the same time, it was not worthless, it wasnecessary, came from the essence of his own being. This pleasure also had to beatoned for, this pain also had to be endured, these foolish acts also had to becommitted.
