The whole idea that children are your possession is wrong.

They are born through you, but they do not belong to you.

You have a past, they have only a future.

They are not going to live according to you.

To live according to you will be almost equivalent to not living at all.

They have to live according to themselves —

in freedom, in responsibility, in danger, in challenge.  

─Osho 

認為孩子是你的所有物的整個想法是錯誤的。

他們透過你而誕生，但是他們不屬於你。

你有的是過去，他們有的卻是未來。

他們不會按照你的方式生活。

按照你的方式生活，等於是完全沒有活過。

他們必須按照自己的方式生活──

生活在自由裡、在責任裡、在危險裡、在挑戰裡。 

─奧修
