Yourchildrenarenotyourchildren.Theycamethroughyoubutnotfromyou.(一些笔记)

《先知》——纪伯伦的代表作。“你是否自由，不在于你的生活没有烦恼，也不在于你的夜晚没有悲伤，而在于你的生活充满了艰难，而你却战胜了他们，解放了自己。”Howcanyoubefreeunlessyoubreakthechainsyouhavefastenedaroundyourslef?Youllbefreeindeednotwhenyourdaysarewithoutacare,noryournightswithoutgrief,Butratherwhenthesethingsbindupyourlifeandyetyouriseabovethemunbound.“你的孩子，其实不是你的孩子，乃是生命为自身渴望而诞生的儿女。他是借你而来，却不是从你而来；他们与你同在，实际却并不属于你。”Youchildrenarenotyourchildren.Theyarethesonsanddaughtersoflifeslongingforitself.Theycamethroughyoubutnotfromyou.Thoughtheyrewithyou,theybelongtothemselves.Youmaygivethemyourlovebutnotyourthoughts,Fortheyhavethoughtsoftheirown.Youmayhousetheirbodiesnottheirsouls.Fortheirsoulsdwellinahouseoftomorrow,whichyoucannotvisiteveninyourdreams.Youmaystrivetobelikethem.Butseeknottomakethemlikeyou.Forlifegoesnotbackward.Nortarrieswithyesterday.Youarethebowsfromwhichyourchildrenaslivingarrowsaresentforth.Thearcherseesthemarkuponthepathoftheinfinite.Andhebendsyouwithhismight.Thathisarrowsmaygoswiftandfar.Letyourbendinginthearchershandbeforgladness.Forevenashelovesthearrowthatflies,helovesthebowthatisstable.
