Parshas Hashavua
Sotah 49a
"דאמרי אינשי רחמי
דאבא אבני, רחמי דבני אבני דהוו ליה"
'The love of a father is for his children. The love of his children is for their children."
(more love to your children than to your parents)
We find in this weeks Parsha . Yehudah was pleading to Yosef to allow Binyomin to return to his father otherwise his father (Yakov) will die. Why not plead about the suffering of Binyomin's ten sons ?
The Kotzker Rebbe answers "From here we see parents are in more pain when their children are suffering than the pain children have when their parents
are suffering".

The Zohar( Parshas V’yechi) writes ," people love
their grandchildren more than their own children."
