The parent is protector and trainer, but never the ultimate teacher. Every parent is responsible for teaching their kid basic moral conduct, manners, the difference between love and hate, and right from wrong. However, after maturity, the child must set off to seek knowledge on their own. Religion is never to be forced. And you cannot threaten your child with hell and tell them your religion is the only right way. There is no one right way. The many ways to the Creator are as varied as the colors of a rainbow. .

About This Quote

Because we were all once children, we all know the deep love and fear of our parents. As children, we do not think of our parents as eternal beings; we see them as people who will one day die and leave us. We see them as the only people who can give us advice and teach us right from wrong: they’re the ones who can protect and guide us. When we finally become adults, we realize that our parents are not immortal, and we realize that they were once just like us: scared of things they didn’t understand, looking for answers to questions they could not answer.
