我非常欣赏纪伯伦在《先知》有关孩子的说法:
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.
养育孩子是为社会尽义务。送孩子上私校,上贵族学校没有任何不对。不过我觉得每个月将两三百元捐献给贫穷国家的孩子更有意义。这也是当初选我没有为女儿选择私校的原因之一。 |
