"親自身が泉を毒したのに、なぜ流れが苦いのかと親たちは不思議に思う。"
— John Locke
Simplified Meaning:
Parents sometimes notice their children having bad behaviors or problems but don't realize that their own actions might have caused these issues. Imagine a garden where the plants are not growing well because the water is contaminated. If the person who takes care of the garden had added something harmful to the water source, it's their actions causing the problem. In the same way, if parents act poorly or create a negative environment, their children may reflect these bad influences. For example, if parents regularly argue and treat each other with disrespect, children might develop similar behaviors or emotional issues. To apply this idea, parents should focus on creating a positive and healthy environment at home, showing good behavior and communication. When parents improve themselves, children have a better chance of growing up healthy and happy.
