On Children
To be honest, I really didn't understand the first part of this chapter. "Your children are not your children", to me this doesn't make sense because we are our parents children. I do think this gives us an interesting twist on how our parents house our bodies but not our souls, because we decide who we as individuals want to be. In society I think that we have a mapped out path that our parents envision us taking, but we have to power and the reins on life to decide which turn to make and which decision to make. Some parents struggle to recognize that they cannot make the decision for their children because they want to be there every step of the way and holding their hands. I think that there are different ways of interpreting different parts of this passage, and it will mean something different to each different reader.

This is a really cool concept. I like the way that you write about how we have control of our destiny and not our parents. I always think of them having the upper hand in everything.
