Children - do not spare them every difficulty The love of parents for their children does not mean immediately sparing them every difficulty. When children get themselves into scrapes, they should be left to struggle for a while and try to work it out. Once they begin to understand why and how they got themselves into the predicament, and to regret what they did, then you can come to the rescue. The fact that they have suffered a little will make them decide to be more careful and sensible in the future. Not only do parents who fail to behave this way do their children a disservice, they actually encourage them to be weak and wicked. Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov was a Bulgarian philosopher, pedagogue, mystic, and esotericist. A leading 20th-century teacher of Western Esotericism in Europe, he was a disciple of Peter Deunov, the founder of the Universal White Brotherhood. |

Note: I wrote the first poem early in the morning upon waking up and later added to it eventually resulting in seven poems in total and published it for the first time today, the 12th of October, 2024. Changing one verse can change the entire meaning of the poem yet the theme of the first poem is adhered to throughout all seven poems. If you find one of these poems that resonates the most with you, please be so kind as to reply with the number of the poem in the comment section.
