It is interesting to me to see that no matter how well you think you have taught your children, or how good of an example you have been, that you never really know how your children will turn out. In our readings there were several examples of great leaders who left their children in charge only to have many of the good things they have instituted undone. Specifially i noted Vespian and Marcus Aurelius. These men had been overall a positive influence in Rome, yet their children were nearly as destructive as they were constructive.
It does get me thinking about how my own children (i have 5) are going to turn out. I know my wife and I are doing our best, and I guess we just have to believe they will do alright.
