Really an insightful article. True, when we like something so much, we give control over them, thus, they could end up doing whatever they like us or handle us anyhow they like.
For everything, there should be a limit. I think that man that is over 40 gave so much respect to his father and thus it ended up affecting him on the long run. He is matured enough to dictate the kind of life he desire to live and not someone else dictating for him.
