Perspective

I have my ethics, and hope my children will adopt them, even improve on them. But should I force my ethics upon them, will they be respected? Unlikely, I'd wager there's a better chance my values persist if they respect me. Sometimes, it's important to maintain some perspective:

I got my friends
And I got my children too
I got her love
She's got my love too
-Niel Young, I'm The Ocean
