Duties remain as duties even when the going is difficult. I suppose that is what we need the concept of duty for. We can do our duty easily when things are going well. So it is not right to abandon family responsibilities, to seek new loves as we hear so often in the magazines and this sort of thing. All of us, finally, need to develop our capacity for self-discipline and that struggle continues no matter how old we might be or how easy our situation might seem to be.
Constant practice is needed.
It is important for children to be loved. They cannot have too much love from their parents, but they can have too much of everything else. Especially today it is terribly important somehow to try to teach the children that they have to wait, and to work and to encourage them along the path of self-discipline. You have heard all this before. I have said it before many times.
