CHILDREN
Dear Child.
This is your body.
This is your mother. This is your father.
This is your condition.
Whatever it is.
And there is almost nothing you can do about it.
It’s called reality.
But as adults, we can make a difference.
It may take three generations
to create an authentic joyful human being,
but sometimes we succeed in inducing a smile
in a fraction of a second.
Have you ever seen an unknown child staring at you with empty eyes,
and suddenly seen a second of despair in her eyes,
when she realized an impuls to wish for your attention?
We are one another’s conditions.
But one day,
at the age of 13 or 26 or 57 or...
you will realize,
that it is YOUR decision,
whether you turn left or right.
This will be a decisive day in your life.
Only surpassed by the day,
you take the responsibility
of your choice.
