Summary

This quote suggests that sons, by nature, have a strong desire to reject or challenge the things that their fathers find appealing or admirable. It implies that there is a natural tendency for sons to seek out flaws or weaknesses in their father's beliefs or ideals, as they somehow feel the need to bring about a sense of disappointment or loss of illusion in their fathers. This rebellious inclination may stem from a desire to establish their own identity and establish independence from their fathers' influence.
