Children, are they a path to fulfilment or conflict

There is a story of Buddha, he was married with a baby boy, one night he snuck out of the house and ran away and never came back. You can imagine the judgements of all the people in the village, what a terrible person, irresponsible person, how could he do such a thing, he is the worst father.
When his son became an adult he went searching for Buddha, found him and became his disciple, after a period of time Buddha’s son became enlightened. Without a doubt Buddha is one of the greatest fathers who has ever lived. He taught his son how to find freedom, peace, fulfilment, happiness and understanding in life. The greatest gift any parent can give to their children. All other parents teach the opposite, they teach the child how to be unhappy and how to be a prisoner of their conditioning that the parents, the society and religion inflict upon their children. Because that's how the parents are, unhappy and unfree, so how can they teach their children anything but how they are themselves.

Parents have children to try and find some for fulfilment, some happiness in life, they use their children in this futile search for fulfilment and happiness which will end in a life of conflict between the parents and the children. If you don't believe me take a very good look at your own family life.
