Summary

This quote suggests that happiness and the absurd are interconnected and cannot exist without each other. It implies that amidst the uncertainties and contradictions of life, happiness can arise. The absurd refers to the sense of meaninglessness or irrationality often found in human existence. Despite this, happiness can still be found, perhaps through embracing the absurdity of life and accepting the inherent contradictions. It implies that both elements are fundamental aspects of the human experience and are intertwined as two different facets stemming from the same reality.

Granted there are instances in which children have been rear

Granted there are instances in which children have been reared in an atmosphere of inconsistency where value training of any kind was entirely missing; but even in these cases, it is the lack of loving guidance and structure rather than the lack of punitive retribution that has triggered the behavioral manifestations of delinquency. In a high percentage of court cases, there is evidence that the child has met with punishment that has not only been frequent but in many cases excessive. In fact, one of the sources of the child's own inadequate development is the model of open violence provided by the parent who has resorted repeatedly to corporal punishment, usually because of his own limited imagination. This indoctrination into a world where only might makes right and where all strength is invested in the authority of the mother or of the father not only makes it easy for the child to develop aggressive patterns of behavior but makes him emotionally distant and distrustful.
