When life is a horror....Don't look like a ghost!
Avoid providing material for the drama that is always stretched tight between parents and children; it uses up much of the children__ strength and wastes the love of the elders, which acts and warms even if it doesn__ comprehend. Don__ ask for advice from them and don__ expect any understanding; but believe in a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love there is strength and blessing so large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step outside it.
