As a warning to parents I mention, that my father preferred me to my brother, which was very injurious to both of us. To me, as tending to produce in my mind a feeling of self-elevation; and to my brother, by creating in him a dislike both towards my father and me.

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "As a warning to parents I mention, that my father preferred me to my brother, which was very injurious to both of us. To me, as tending to produce in my mind a feeling of self-elevation; and to my brother, by creating in him a dislike both towards my father and me." in the context of "A Narrative of Some of the Lord's Dealings with George Müller Written by Himself, First Part." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
