Repeating "because I said so" a thousand times is not nearly as effective as one irrational explanation.
We have to teach young people that "No" is a complete sentence.
We must learn and then teach our children that niceness does not equal goodness. Niceness is a decision, a strategy of social interaction; it is not a character trait. People seeking to control others almost always present the image of a nice person in the beginning.
Our babies cried when we left them and we cry when they leave us. Echoes. Proud almost to arrogance then, we pushed them about in their carriages. Dutifully, wearily now, they push us about in our chairs.
Our children don't know us as we are now. Less do they know us as we were. Oh, how I wish they could have known us as we were. Do rou think they would recognize their young selves in our young selves? I wish they could have seen us in all our clumsiness and selfishness, which is so like their own clumsiness and selfishness right now. There's another echo for you.
