In the book
Ask yourself honestly: do you want your children's values dictated by you, or by their school and their classmates? It is an important principle, and the answer has to be a deliberate one. Aim higher than mere decency, too — the truly righteous person is sensitive and proactive about avoiding causing pain to others even in the most indirect ways. — True North (Ethics, Integrity, Truth, Values)
