That his family's future was the most important thing to him or what?  Madhulk Joined on Mon, Dec 17 2007 Bulgaria Senior Member 3,177 THE MAN OF STEEL

	optilang  +  521776 Sun, 01 Jun 08 08:01 PM  It means that the father considered his family's future to be more important than his own pride. We can only presume that his family's future was the most important thing to him. This sentence does not confirm that. optilang Joined on Tue, May 13 2008 Poland Senior Member 2,522 OptiNative British English Speaker Wherever I may roam, I'm still a Londoner. Resume
