When his brethren saw that their father loved [Joseph] more.    .    . they hated him.
A warning to all fathers and mothers - don’t love one of your children more than the others. Soon there will be jealousy and resentment, and finally hatred. All children are different. All have different traits and personalities and abilities. All have to be treated at their level. Sometimes things we do for one of our children may appear to the others that they are being favored more. We need to be very careful that we don’t cause any hatred among our children. We must make sure they know that we love them all completely.
