A traditionalist Christian laments the inability of parents to ensure that their children don’t stray from the hard and narrow path.......
....Now, what you can do is make sure that your children know the truth of things. So if they reject the truth of Christianity, at least they are actively choosing to disbelieve and have the chance to return to the faith once they see the consequences of their evil are precisely as they were taught. Your daughters can recognize Gammas and avoid them while knowing the price they may pay if they decide to chase Alphas. And while your sons will be what they are, at least they can learn how to maximize their situations to their own benefit and know how to more effectively interact with other men.
The world is what it is and our ability to change it is limited and transient. The more one accepts those realities, the more effectively one can exercise the abilities one has. And as much as we would like to do so, we can’t fight our children’s battles for them. All we can do is make sure they are prepared to do so themselves.
