"家族も子供も他人との交わりも、情熱と欲望が抑えられるまでは正しく整えられない。"

Simplified Meaning:
To have good relationships with family, children, or other people, we first need to control our own emotions and desires. Imagine a parent who often gets very angry. If they don't learn to manage that anger, they might hurt their relationships with their children or spouse by shouting or becoming impatient. By calming their anger and other strong feelings, they can be kinder and more understanding. This helps build happier and more supportive relationships. Managing emotions allows us to act thoughtfully and respectfully, leading to better connections with the people around us.
