“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.”
—Kahlil Gibran

critics.”

Szasz
