250210 What I learned in my studies this morning 5

Today's Meditation(s):

“Old people are always very impatient with young ones. Fathers always expect their sons to have their virtues without their faults.”

I do forget sometimes that my kids don't have the history I do and so don't understand the import of what I'm telling them.

What it means to me, with all the layers and connections, shadings and connotations . . . the meaning is different for them. Even if they catch a sense of my earnestness, it just means that they may try harder to get it than otherwise they might.
