6. Welcome to Love

Those who are tasked with nourishing another, be it from parent to child, or boss to subordinate, must always remember the fundamental needs of human nourishment. Mental manipulation occurs when a parent or caretaker exclaims "I pay for the roof over your head and the food you eat, and thus you must respect me!" This is a common root of suffering in a family dynamic where the often missing ingredient - love - is mistaken with the provision of resources and objects. Objects can never fill the void of love.
