Releasing Arrows

Sending your children away can be a harrowing experience. Now a days, parents send their children off to daycare at a critical age when they need mommy and daddy constantly nearby, off to camp when they are little, off to Junior High when they're pre-adolescents, off to college when they've just graduated High School, and off to an unknown adventure when they get married--an experience totally out of your control, dad.

If children, and in particular, sons, are arrows in the hands of a warrior, how do we release these 'arrows' with an effective impact on our society and world?

By training them when they are young--yes, infants! Spend the time and energy to fight your urges to let them be cute while defying your commands. When they disobey you during their teenage years, it doesn't look so cute, does it? Train them to respect and obey you.

How, do you ask? We'll look into that tomorrow.
