From “The Human Condition: A User’s Manual,” by Arnold Kunst
29 June
Be careful that you, as a parent, don’t find emotional
blackmail too seductive to pass up. In a moment of passion it’s very easy,
fairly early on in your career as a parent, to say to your child, “If you ever
__________, you’re out of my life forever!” It doesn’t make any difference what
you put in that blank space; that choice yields a yawning disaster stretching
out beyond the furthest horizon that is as inevitable as it is profound.
