marries; but
he will not make a lasting sacrifice of his own and the
other woman's
happiness simply to please a selfish girl.
If daughter
and parent are not sensible, well trained and loving, it
will be a case
of frying pan or fire either way.
The
recognition of individual rights to the pursuit of happiness
according to
individual desire, is the only basis of happiness in family
relations.
The daughter
who helps her father do as he desires will find him
ready to help
her do as she desires. And vice versa.
The daughter
who "opposes" her father's marriage is quite apt to be the
daughter who
has been opposed by her father; he reaps as he has sown.
Or else she is
the daughter who has been brought up with the idea that
parents are a
mere convenience for her use.
The way out of
the Family Jar is often labyrinthine; but the Loving
Individual can
always thread it.
