Do you know what free will is, little one? It gives our actions meaning. You can impose a certain way of life on humanity, but it will be empty, it will not be ours.

Turn us - not force us - away from paths which will harm us, and eventually we will find something which we will be proud of. And we will be proud of it, and will have grown and matured and be able to appreciate it. Our life will have meaning because we earned it. Surely, your father can appreciate growth through trials.
