Simfoni Kehidupan
" Kamu adalah busur dan anakmu adalah panah hidup yang diluncurkan kedepan"
(Kahlil Gibran).
Meski anak baik adalah yang bisa membalas budi kebaikan orangtuanya,
karena memang itu Jalan Anak, tapi Jalan OrangTua tetap sama dari
semenjak dulu, sekarang dan yang akan datang, adalah bila bisa mengurus
dirinya sendiri tanpa mengganggu irama kehidupan anak-anaknya.
Dikutip dari :
T'ai Chi - The Great Harmony
Seni Menjalani Kehidupan, Falsafah Gerakan Manfaat -
Jusuf Sutanto
Bayangkan punya anak seperti Khalil Gibran, sejak dewasa tak bisa kerja berpenghasilan sendiri seperti kerja dari pukul 9 pagi s/d 5 sore. Untung belakangan disokong satu pengagum

On Children
ReplyDeleteKahlil Gibran
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.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path 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,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.
Now, that's the complete text. The parents would be proud indeed.
