1 " An outsider's inquisitiveness to know another's private affairs is natural, but not so in children with respect to their parents. Children know the overt personal life of their parents. It is a crime for children to probe into mistakes made by their parents, like detectives looking for evidence of crimes. Any man can make mistakes, however good he may be. It is wrong for children to inquisitively probe into their parents' lives, and have fun or show anger over what they uncover. It is like digging into the heads of ancient statues in search of archaeological artefacts. Nanda spoke with anger. "

2 " Tissa reflected that religion is divine poetry whilst morality is made up of customs and traditions that change with the place and the times. How do men who read the same books he reads, live on the same kind of food in the same world and social class, differ so much from him and from each other in mind and body? He concluded that his present state of body and mind that gives rise to his reflections cannot be just the outcome of books he read and the food he ate, nor his own efforts to adapt to his world and his social class. Human beings are born with an individuality that is unique to each, but this cannot be attributed to the presence or absence of a soul. The same individuality is there in each leaf, and one leaf differs from another. Yet all the leaves get the same nourishment from the roots of the tree, and the sun and the air. "

7 " Even when a child spots any inadequacies, acknowledgement will only encourage disobedience and disregard of his parents' advice. "

8 " Tissa saw in life a complex self-preserving system that automatically repairs the inevitable instances of breakdown of both body and mind. The body form that has ceased to be adaptive to the physical world disintegrates, as does the mind that is not adaptive to the subjective world. "

9 " I don't see any wrong in children revealing their parents' mistakes. Children talk about these wrongs not out of malice, but because of pain of mind.. replied Tissa. "
