About This Quote
The family is one of the greatest traps that society has used for millennia to keep man a slave. The family cannot live without violence and submission. It creates a power structure that’s based upon the dominance and submission of people who are related to each other by blood or marriage. The family is such an old idea that it’s no longer necessary.
The only reason people try to force others into this idea is because they don’t want others to have any control over them. People should learn to be an independent person who can do anything they want in life without being bound by their family ties.
