The basic idea is simple and practical. There comes a time in the life of every family when the parents must say to the sons and daughters alike, you are grown up, here is your inheritance. Do with it as you will. We will watch, we will help, but we must no longer decide for you, act for you, and protect you. You are henceforth responsible for your own lives and well-being. So now take your destiny by the hand and may God love you.
