Summary

This quote suggests that fathers should have minimal presence and influence within the family dynamic. It implies that a successful family life is based on the absence of the father, both physically and verbally. It potentially advocates for a traditional family structure where the father takes a passive role and allows the mother or other family members to take the lead. However, it is important to note that this statement might not align with modern perspectives on gender equality and the evolving roles of fathers within the family unit.
