From the Russian mystic Nikolay Fydorov: “The task of the fathers, the parents, ends with the upbringing of the children; then begins the task of the sons, who restore life.  In giving birth to and raising their children, the parents give life to them, while the task of resurrection belongs wih the returning of life to the parents.”

Because God is triune.

Hence too Freud and Dostoevsky are right: Parricide is the story of humanity.
