Key Notes
The participant answer Jiang approves says lived experience such as falling in love or becoming a parent is the better path for understanding resentment toward one's parents.
Jiang says the class is overthinking the issue and reframes it through a child-parent analogy: unconditional love is recognized in the freedom a parent grants the child.
A student objects that parental love cannot simply mean unconditional permission, because being a parent also includes responsibility and correction.
Another student sharpens the same objection by distinguishing moral support from unrestricted permission, noting that free will cannot mean parents let a child do anything at all.
Jiang says parents, schools, and society often block people from knowing or pursuing their purpose, but those obstacles are themselves part of the soul's developmental path.
In Jiang's ranking, parents matter because they pay and can create trouble; teachers matter because they implement the rules; government and colleges often care only that the school produces no problems or paying students.
Jiang argues that many parents treat education as a status good: Ivy League names and expensive international schools matter because they provide face before relatives, friends, and colleagues.
