Being wrong opens us up to the possibility of change.  Being wrong brings the opportunity for growth.

We are always in the process of approaching truth and perfection without actually ever reaching truth or perfection.

The true measurement of self-worth is not how a person feels about her/his positive experiences, but rather how she/he feels about her/his negative experiences.

The desire for more positive experience is itself a negative experience. And, paradoxically, the acceptance of one's negative experience is itself a positive experience.

We are responsible for experiences that aren't our fault all the time.  This is part of life.

Incubator

Incubator
Incubator invests energy
gives regulated heat
To the Egg helping to grow
To give life.

When the egg gets just enough
It breaks the egg and gets out
Now it is cook not an egg
Don't know anything about incubator
Don't want to know about it
A real living thing
Which just to relate to similar once.

This is also for human incubators
who expect to be loved back
for their incubation
and end up devastation.

Incubation is not a good way of relation
Not for lasting relationship
For it creates submission
But It is very kind service
For those who needs it.

Incubation is very kind service
Relation is just another skill.

I am a Mom and I never thought I need freedom of speech to raise my kids!


Eden is my oldest daughter. She is 8 and half years old.   So far her knowledge of government is about providing electricity and water.  Eden’s questions stated as usual to know more.
Eden:    Mom, today there was no electricity almost for two hours.  Is there any country without power cut?
Me:        Yes, Eden there are many.
Eden:    It means they have good government.
Me:        Relatively yes.
Eden:    Can we change our government?  How can we change it? (Eden is always proactive on her questions)
I am shocked and kept quit.  Thinking what to say? How to say? Considering consequences I kept quit for long.  (As a child she is going to use my answers as her truth wherever she go whenever she needs it).  
Eden continued with her questions.
Eden:  Mom, have you ever seen change of government in this country?
Me:        Yes Eden.  Once, I was 11 but it happened after severe civil war.
Eden:    That is bad.  You mean is that the Ethio-Italy war? (that is the only war she learnt about so far)
Me:        No this is another was both side Ethiopian and many Ethiopian died both side. 
Eden:    Who fought for this government?
Me:        Many people Eden. 
Thinking how lucky she does not know the previous and this government.
Now, I couldn’t afford to answer any of her questions on this subject.  I gave up my freedom of speech even at home even with my 8 and half years daughter. I gave up mine for hers.  It is better to keep quit myself than telling her not to tell someone else.
I am not a politician.  I am just a mom.  I never thought freedom of speech will be my issue.  I never thought freedom of speech will affect the way I want to raise my kids and their mind development.


I use to think, it is good to explain as much as possible for children’s question for it broaden their mind and perspective.  But this time I don’t have enough freedom of speech to raise my kids the way they deserve.
