We live in a day when love is so rare. In interpersonal
relationships lust has been exchanged for true love. In the
parent-child relationship brutality is often expressed instead

he would like. He described a mansion. He was then askedwhat
kind of parents he would like in that house. He said he would
want parents with adhesive tape over their mouths so they
couldn't yell at him and their hands handcuffed behind their
backs so they couldn't' hit him."
