Since the beginning of time, our morality has not changed; it is the technics by which our various epochs have molded themselves, which have molded us, changed us, as a people in the process. Upon entering the Seventeenth-Century however, it changed for all time. The division between dogma and morality changed the face of Western man for the unforeseeable future – whether for good or ill, it remains with us. The consciousness of man was, forever, given back to him. He was to reform himself, and mold a new reality from the old; he saw it as the inevitable outcome of ‘infancy’ to ‘adulthood’. Constraints, as seen by the child are always bonds, chains which keep him in check, bound to his parents and authority which ever seeks to limit his aspirations. Children almost always hate, and are jealous of their parents – this is natural law.

This is part and parcel of the stages of maturity.
