The role of a father lies in the transmission of knowledge and experience.
Strangers won't do that; they won't suddenly run over and pat you on the shoulder, telling you that you did something wrong.
They will only watch your jokes, and when you fail, they will appear in front of you, smug and arrogant, telling you they knew all along you would fail.
Only a father will tell you what you should do and what problems he has stumbled upon in the past.
The transmission of knowledge and experience is incredibly precious!
Perhaps the current highly developed human society makes many people unable to perceive the value of these things.
But in nature, without the transmission from parents, especially fathers, many animals would not survive in the cruel natural world!
Systematic education has replaced the transmission of knowledge, but the transmission of experience and insight still relies on fathers, on elders.
