Becoming Like Satan

In chapter one of the manual A Parent's Guide it states:

"The philosophy of the world follows Satan: “Do your own thing.” “What’s in it for me?” “If you think it’s right, it’s right.” “If it feels good, do it.” As a result of such thinking, people turn away from God and focus on themselves, doing just what Satan himself wanted to do—setting themselves up as the judges of what is right and wrong and taking to themselves all honor and glory. They treat other people largely as a means to their own gain, their own pleasure. Ultimately, they are miserable—because happiness is the result of becoming like God, not like Satan."

So much of the world criticizes standards. If we follow a certain normal then we are seen as unintelligent, old-fashioned, and unable to think for ourselves. Adam and Eve didn't have the wrong idea; The world today does. 

Let me be less vague. The "ideal" family of a loving father and mother, with multiple children, all living under the same roof, is the ideal. If you don't have that, it doesn't mean those who do think you're bad. The world is not perfect and few people will be blessed with the perfect family situation. But if you want to provide the best future for your family, you will TRY to reach the ideal. You don't just "fit" this standard. You work for it. Remember, the best things in life don't come easy.
