It has happened to a certain point only because somewhere, unintentionally, the habits which were ingrained in you, not because of genetics but memetics. It is common for the sound waves and attitudes of those around you to reside in you. I haven’t spoken to my children in a long time. This is something I learned from my father: I never thrashed them. I don’t want my children to be afraid of me. I’m not sure how far I’ve gotten, but this is what I’m aiming for. I haven’t always been the best father because my rage got the best of me.” He also made a joke about being afraid of his younger son.
