Post... :D haha... there u go...

okie... lets talk about something... hmm...


Your Children are not your children,
They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself.
They came through you but are 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 theur 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 backwards nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The Archer sees the mark upon the mark of the infinite and He bends you with his might that His arrows may go Swift and Far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, He loves also the bow that is stable.

-Kahlil Gibran


Taken from the book, The Road Less Travelled... hmm... as i read a friend's blog i was thinking about how we face strained relationships with our parents coz we dun alwayz see eye to eye... that is a sad truth... but Do know that they do it out of ignorance... coz if you listen carefully, they want to do what they THINK is right, what they would do for THEMSELVES.. and yes though sometimes it would be prudent to listen to their advice, ur decision is ultimately... ur decision...

and of course it would piss them off somehow..
