It isn't self. It's God. Listen to Him. Obey His leading. A failure to do that is 'rebellion'.

They are content and happy because you have shown them love and trained them. Had you not done that, they would have turned out evil. That is what comes naturally if you, the parent, don't teach them otherwise.

Which brings us around to what started this thread. Why are we seeing so much evil from children these days (i.e. shootings in school)? Parents have failed to train these children to choose good. They have failed to love them as God intended. We can go on and list lots of reasons, but the biggest reason I can see is that the parents simply don't accept the reality that man is basically evil and that they must look to God and His teachings for their guidance.
