That's the way a child spends six or seven years in the hands of women, a victim of his own and their surly ways.They taught him all kinds of things, filled his memory with things he didn't understand at all, or things that were of no use to him.After the desires they instilled in him had suffocated his nature, the artificial child was placed in the hands of the teacher, who completed the growth of the artificial bacteria, which had already been cultivated anyway.The teacher taught him everything except self-knowledge and control, the art of life, and the art of happiness.In the end, this child who is both a slave and a tyrant, filled with knowledge but emptied of perception, physically and mentally weak, has thrown himself into the society. His helplessness, conceit and various weaknesses can be seen at a glance, and we begin to lament the chaos and desolation of human beings.We were wrong, he was a product of our fantasy, and he was created by nature to be different.
