GET OFF YOUR KIDS. And also from yourself on the subject of, "Am I a good enough parent? Is my child developed enough, active enough, diligent enough, educated enough according to society?" I've been thinking a lot lately (and I'm talking about myself, too) about how many demands we make on our children that most of us wanted and expected. Wanted to love them. However, from their early years, something goes wrong. The unconditional love they deserve is replaced by a constant assessment of the child's conformity to some conventional norms of society. And who says that their education, school grades, achievements, the prestige of their chosen university and specialty is the measure of true success? Ask yourself the statistics about how many people around the world, who have all the blessings an average person can only dream of, burn out, get depressed or kill themselfs every year. A true understanding of human happiness and success has been replaced by some marketing slogan in bright wrappers. In the end, it is more important to have a strong psyche and a healthy nervous system than a fine diploma. It is more important to retain your joy and taste in life, your spontaneity and creativity, rather than to acquire the skills of a cog convenient to the social system. GET OFF YOUR KIDS AND YOURSELF. Love them and yourself and enjoy life together.
I apologize in advance for the pompous language. I am tired of it.
P.S. Angel as purity and innocence of the child. White lilies as a symbol of purity and sincerity of thoughts. Butterflies as the ability to enjoy life in the here and now. Gilding as the radiance and divinity of each soul that came to earth in a child's body. The sheets of textbooks, drenched in paint and hanging over the figure of an angel, as the insignificance and vanity of the imposed standards of parenting.
