It is the well-known generation gap described since last 5000 years. It is because the ego, in the parent and the child, believes it is right. Though the parental love is the most special of all in terms of love and goodwill. Yet it is an ignorant goodwill. Hence the conflict. It is perhaps more so these days due to the tremendously increased evolutionary pace. Nevertheless, it is possible to build harmony and understanding if we can bring out the power of love and faith. Unfortunately, that is very deficient these days, full of stress of various kinds. The solution lies in growing wider in the mind and living deeper in the heart. Until then, at least the basis of relationship should be reason and discussion rather than blind obedience to authority.ย
Affectionately,
