The quote from the book that I seem to remember effortlessly for decades… so thought provoking and profound.
Khalil would be pround.
May his spirit go forth.
This song is beautiful, and I completely agree you do not control your children, we should nurture them and support them in being their own person, that is the best type of parenting, supporting them to be themselves
Since becoming a parent, I call bullshit on all this. Children shouldn't make their own decisions because many times if it were left up to them alone, they will always choose wrong, or choose the easiest path, or choose what feels good. And as a teacher, I see this is in 99% of children. In order for children to make the right decisions, the parents must model good decision making skills. This poem flies in the face of the philosophy that "the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree." Children may be individuals, yes, but just about everything about them, whether they know it or not, are a reflection of their parents first. When it comes to allowing kids to making their own decisions, a wise parent like myself would give them a set of choices. A, B, or C. Each choice has a consequence. A wise parent would make sure one or two of these choices is a choice that the parent knows are the best choices for the child. The psychology behind it is to give the child the feeling he/she is making his/her own decision, when in reality they are making their parent's decision. Because parents have greater life experience, they ultimately know what is best for the child. Example, my 6 year old hates vegetables. As a parent, I know he needs to eat them. If I were to allow him to make decisions about dinner, it would be junk food all the time. I gave him choices. Each choice has a consequence. A) Eat junk food, but you can't play with friends or video games B) Eat half your vegetables, you can have friends come over, but no video games C) Eat all your vegetables, you can play video games or visit friends, but not both. D) Try new vegetables, you can play videos games and play with friends. Which decision would you make?
@@Juwar1974 you've taken what this young girl and poem says too literally my friend. It's about giving our children the freedom they need to grow and nurture their thoughts and become people of their own will, not slaving away to their parents' lost wills, hopes and desires. Children do go wrong, they don't always make the best decisions, in fact most of the time they don't and it's our duty to help them stay on the path, give our opinions, but never force them down a path we want for ourselves but are making our children go down it. We are the bows, we can aim the arrows, set them flying high, but once they're up, they're in tomorrow. We really need to learn that that's one place we can never go to
@@Juwar1974 I think you've missed the point...
@@Juwar1974 teach them to think, not how to think.
This song by Damien Rice telling me what Kahlil Gibran's thoughts of raising children should be, ring prophetically for me. Unfortunately, as I raised my children, I never thought of reading or listening to literature, or poetry such as this. But now I have read and listened to Kahlil Gibran's poetry and listen to Damien Rice.
Childhood is a patched trousers, my memories remain
Yes!!!!! I finally found it. I went to a bluegrass folk gospel concert when I was young at Yale university and had this song stuck in my head ever since! Thank you very much for posting.
I love when that happens. Have you seen the movie made from his poems? My kids will watch it with me.
Oh, I love Damien Rice .
Pouring over what could have been, what is and what will be ❤! Knowing this doesn’t lessen the longing
When I had my children wrongfully taken from me, I gained comfort from these beautifully written words and another perspective. To hear it sung by Damien Rice, though, gives me assurance that eventually I will find the blessing. But for now all I feel is disguised as unrelenting nightmares of heartache. And at least you'll awaken from the realm of sleep to find your peace and place in the now. In this nightmare, in and out of consciousness, I fight to stay awake and to awaken others.
I had to let my Autistic son go but sadly because of the system he went handcuffed by the police in the end :( as though it wasn't hard enough to come to terms with letting go but why did it have to be that way?! Don't despair have faith
Cia Assin Cortina and Faranek Peart: I respect you both more than you know, blessings
Christine Weber-Avila Sorry for your pain.
We must speak. I saw this comment for a reason and the way I found this music even more mystical. The story of you and your child match the story of my child and I. Wow. What are some ways I can contact you?
How absolutely amazing is this???
ohhh such a Creation, wonderful, thank You.
So Enlightening one. Thanks for this lovely gift. Namaste

Ah, I love you! You've already put it online. I didn't even have to ask! I love that effect of our Shaumbra gatherings. We build up a time-space vibrant with such high energies that things go fast, smoothely and effortlessly as we're used for it to be, from within our I AM-ness.

PARENTHOOD
A few parents are needed to change the whole world. But it is difficult - you follow the pattern that your parents have forced on you. This is the problem that we can't see at all: You cannot tolerate your parents, but you are following the same pattern as they did.
The world will be totally different if parents can become a little more understanding. They are not, and nobody can tell them anything because they are so loving--that's the trouble. Behind love, so much that is not love goes on hiding. Love becomes a shelter for many things that are not love at all.
Your parents might have been very loving and must have done whatever they could. They must have been thinking that they were creating a happy life for you. But nobody can make anybody happy, nobody.
So allow your children to grow in freedom. Of course it is risky, but what can be done? Life is a risk, but every growth is possible in danger and risk. Don't protect them too much or they will become hothouse plants-almost useless. Let them be wild. Let them struggle in life, let them grow on their own, and they will always be grateful to you. And you will always be happy, because later on you will see an aliveness in them.

CARBON COPIES, A SOCIETY OF (SLAVISH) IMITATORS
Parents have carried the idea down through the ages that children belong to them and have to be just carbon copies of them. A carbon copy is not a beautiful thing, and existence does not believe in carbon copies, it rejoices in originality.
You have to help them grow beyond you. You have to help them not to imitate you. That is really the duty of the parents - to help the children not to fall into imitation. Children are imitative, and naturally, whom are they going to imitate? The parents are the closest people. Up to now parents have enjoyed it very much, that their children are just like them. The father feels proud because his son is just like him. Then one life is wasted; then his son is not needed, he was enough.
Because of this wrong conception of pride in children imitating you, we have created a society of imitators.

CRIMSON CIRCLE UNOFFICIAL so deep man
Fuck all of you!
This is the worst lesson ever! Parents are supposed to protect and love their young! Not allow them harm! Fuck you
STFU! Parents can raise their children how they want to raise their children! At least they are not abusing the kid! So fuck off
Well said 🔥🔥🔥

Nf know
If our children are not our children, then WHO are we to declare death to them by abortion?
What is this BS? "Your children are not your children?" Tell that to mothers. What he really means to say is "Your children are not your children AFTER YOU'VE RAISED THEM." But by that time, if you raised them properly, they will be making sound decisions.
Kahlil Gibran, whose words are being sung by Damian Rice, means that "your children" are ancient souls, as is every being. They have their own history, journey and future, of which the parents play an important part. Indeed the children are their parents' physical offspring, but they are also so very much more.
@@TheCrimsonCircle Uh, no. This bs is perpetuating the idea that children are JUST physical. No, a parent does more than just bring them into the world. Parents RAISE children, which is actual work. As a parent, I have to constantly instill a moral code, a sense of responsibility, etc into my child or the child will either forget or refused to do. A child's soul must be cultivated by their parents and family. If not, the child will become a lost soul. And sadly, I see more and more of these types of children today as a teacher.
Must be too deep for you 😬🤷♀️
@@Juwar1974 life sounds like hard work for you. You have my sympathy 😌
Why they will give all this stupid poems to us
F you moron
