Children are imitative, and naturally, whom are they going to imitate? — the parents are the closest people. Up to now parents have enjoyed it very much, that their children are just like them. The father feels proud because his son is just like him. He should be ashamed that his son is just like him. Then one life is wasted; then his son is not needed, he was enough. Because of this wrong conception of pride in children imitating you, we have created a society of imitators. Osho
