The responsability of the parents "child"

Extracted the book "the Prophet" of Khalil Gibran: in this text, the poet expresses his point of view on relational what exists between the parents and the children

Your children, are not your children.

They are wire and girls of the desire of life in him even.

They come by you, but not from you.

And although they are with you, it is not with you that they belong.

You can endeavour to resemble to them but do not test that they resemble to you.

Because the life does not turn over behind, nor is delayed with yesterday.

You are the arcs which project your children such of the alive arrows

That this curve, in the hands of the archer tends to the joy, Because as he likes the arrow which flies, He likes also the arc which is stable."
