A low self-love in the parent desires that his child should

Summary

This quote suggests that when a parent lacks self-love, they yearn for their child to mimic their own qualities and achievements. It implies that the parent's insecurities or lack of self-esteem drive the desire to see their child leading a similar life as them. This could reflect a certain level of narcissism or the parent's need for validation through their child's successes. It highlights the potential for biased expectations and pressure imposed on the child to fulfill the parent's unfulfilled ambitions.
