Being a good parent is a bad goal.
Why being a good parent is a bad goal?
Why when you try to be a good father, there is ego behind that quest. And ego has fine print that you have to learn to read.
When you want to be a good father, the ego demands expectations from you about the person you love. When the ego wants to be a good father, it expects to be loved in return and to have a good child. So you don't give the loved one freedom. You force him to do and give as you give and that is not freedom and that does not make you a good father, that makes you a manipulative father.
If we should not seek to be a good father, then we should seek to be a good father. When we truly seek to do good for our children and for any other person who lives with us, what we seek is to be a good human being, a good person, a man who gives himself to others, leaving them free to give a response, without forcing them to be like him.
When you seek to be a good person, then the result is that you become a human being that your children say is a good father as a consequence not as a goal. Being a good father is an affirmation of the child not a goal of the father.
