The father feels to have
learnt many things because they are fake and insincere things. They are also considered
hypocrisies. These things don’t bring one lasting happiness and contentment. One
has to regret them. The father too has tasted the futility and dissatisfaction
of harbouring these evil things. So, he wants to get rid of them. He wants to
be the same sincere person he used to be once upon a time in the past. He appeals
to his son to teach him that child-like sincerity.
