Quote by Alice Miller
Wherever I look, I see signs of the commandment to honor one's parents and nowhere of a commandment that calls for the respect of a child.
Summary
This quote highlights the societal imbalance in traditional values regarding the hierarchy within the parent-child relationship. It suggests that there exists a widespread emphasis on respecting and honoring parents, but a lack of emphasis on reciprocated respect towards children. It draws attention to the unequal distribution of societal norms and expectations, questioning why there is not an equivalent commandment emphasizing the importance of respecting and honoring children.
