In a long time, much must be endured. Love comes when you dare to reveal yourself fully. While most infants and children are not raised in total social isolation, large numbers—and the numbers are growing at a rapid rate—are being raised in homes that could easily become environments of partial social deprivation. There is no sort of wrong deed of which an individual can bear the punishment alone; you cannot isolate yourself and say the evil which is in you shall not spread. Men’s lives are as thoroughly blended with each other as the air they breathe evil spreads as necessarily as a disease. There are now significantly fewer children in each home (and consequently less dialogue between siblings), but there is also an overall diminution of social interaction in many homes. There is no such thing as living without being beholden to somebody. One-sixth of all children in the United States, under the age of 18, now live in one-parent households, and the number is growing. Who can say to live that is isolated on the Earth, never experiencing the joys of paternity or kindship?

Coupled with this trend is the fact that majority of the mothers now hold jobs outside of the home; certainly the vast majority of adults, in single-parent households, are forced to work for economic survival. Many of these parents do not want to leave their children. They simply have no other choice-economic necessity dictates their behavior. These situations create environments where something usually has to give, something has to be sacrificed. It is very lonesome at the summit, like a man’s life, when he has climbed to eminence. The awful lonesomeness is intolerable. The intense concentration of self in the middle of such a heartless immensity, my God! Who can tell it? I stand alone among the billions of peopled Earth, nor gods nor men my neighbors! Most parents work all day and then come home to cook a meal and clean a house and will naturally be tired. It takes a concerted effort for that parent, after working all day long, to come home (and stay home) and pay attention to his or her child.

Not only that, if the child has siblings, that are now part of other households, and the father’s time stretched so thin, it might create some issues that this one kid is getting so much attention, and it is still not enough! Time and personal pressures will naturally tend to compress the quantity of dialogue. It is not a question of whether parents love their children; rather, it is a question of time. If you knew Time as well as I do, you would not talk about wasting it. It is him. How tedious is time, when his wings are loaded with expectations! More and more, the vital function of interacting with infants and children is left, by default, to schools, day-care centers, nurseries, baby-sitters, and the glorious television, none of which may have even the slightest interest in serving as a surrogate parent. A wide variety of adolescent and adult psychiatric disorders have now been unequivocally linked to the lack of parental contact during youth.

Some people even want or have thought about ending their lives because they feel like such a burden to the community and family. And if you have a child with special needs and they seem to get more attention from the parents, it creates sibling conflict. However, time truly works wonders. It sublimates wine; it sublimates fame; nay, is the creator thereof; of fables distills truths; and smooths, levels, glosses, softens, melts, and meliorates all things. Hundreds of studies have shown that the lack of parental contact or the early loss of parents can seriously undermine the emotional stability of children. Severe adult depression, dependency, psychosis, various neuroses, and suicide have all been frequently reported among individuals who suffer early parental loss. For instance, there is a young man, who lives with his father, and seems to have problems with everyone. His parent home school him, and let him out one hour a day and he still has problems. We do not understand what is fundamentally wrong with this young man, and as a result, his grandparents want to terminate him, as well as others in the community. Time is supposed to subdue all things, but that may not always be a good thing.

With him, the past was yesterday; the future, tomorrow; never, the day after. Dr. Phillippe and his colleagues examined 85 adolescents, who had been referred for psychiatric evaluation, from a general adolescent population, in their hospital. They found that 36.4 percent of these adolescents had experienced early parental loss of a father being reported twice as frequently as the loss of a mother. Adult sociopathy occurs significantly more in individuals who have experienced early parental loss. Also, an exhaustive study of almost 12,000 ninth-graders from all geographic and socioeconomic sectors of the state of Minnesota. The research indicates that adolescent delinquency rates and school dropout rates were much higher for children who had lost a parent through death or divorce. In fact, over 90 percent the psychotic adults of a mental hospital in Northern California, 90 percent has lost a parent when they were young. It comes as Time himself, and Time has the intention of going a great way.
