The unjustifiable severity of a parent is loaded with this aggravation, that those whom he injures are always in his sight.

Summary

This quote suggests that the unjust and harsh behavior of a parent is particularly distressing because their victims, who are often their own children, are constantly within their view. Unlike others who may commit harm from a distance or without full awareness of their actions, a parent's injustice is intensified by the constant presence of the ones they are mistreating. This highlights the psychological impact of parental cruelty, as victims are subjected to a continued reminder of the harm they endure on a daily basis.
