Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
– Khalil Gibran
Ananya Dasgupta & I were talking about choices. It is true that choices available to generation next are abundant and varied. As a parent one hopes that our children will exercise their choice with care.
Sunday lunch with family friends to wish their son well as he leaves for university studies.
Education, knowledge & awareness, the weapons we can equip our children with to change the world, to make it a better place.
