Tao Stoic 204

"Master, I am still puzzled by the 4-th rule in Ethics, to live as one would like others to live."

"Just what is your difficulty?"

"Well, parents violate the R & D's of their children by teaching religious nonsense, superstitions and bad priorities that are a lifelong burden. They do so because they wanted their own parents to have done so. Thus, people want others to live so that they damage the selves and others."

"Ah, but here you reason in retrograde. The parents DID not want their own parents to do so, only they whitewash it AFTERWARDS, because they, then, are already indoctrinated. Thus, they also want their children to do the same, follow the flock. Do you see how important is a timely education in R & D 's, in Free Think, in sanity, Commonsense, True Words? Children cannot demand their rights from their parents, they are too young when they start off (minus 3/4 year)."
