HET NIEUWE KIND
Inzicht
van Osho
Only
recently in the West we have become aware that the greatest slavery is that
of the child.
As psychological insight has deepened into the human mind and
its functioning, it has become absolutely clear that the child is the most
exploited person. Nobody has been exploited more than the child....
What you
think you have is not individuality, it is only personality. It is something
cultivated in you, in your nature, by your parents, the society, the priest,
the politician, the educators...
...The whole purpose is to destroy the
child in such a way, to cripple every child in such a way, that he adjusts
to the established society.
There is a fear. The fear is that if the child is left unconditioned from
the very beginning he will be so intelligent, he will be so alert, aware,
that his whole life-style will be of rebellion. And nobody wants rebellion;
everybody wants obedient people.
For
thousands of years we have been told, if the child is left to himself he
will be a savage...
The original face of the child is so valuable that any trouble is worth it.
It is so priceless that whatsoever you have to pay for it, it is still
cheap; you are getting it for nothing. And the joy on the day you find your
child with his original face intact, with the same beauty that he had
brought into the world, the same innocence, the same clarity, the same
joyfulness, cheerfulness, the same aliveness.... What more can you expect?
The child
needs immense privacy. The parents should come only to help, not to
interfere.
He should be allowed to do things or not to do things. Parents
should only be alert that he does not do any harm to himself or to anybody
else - that's enough. More than that is ugly.
Whenever
you follow your potential, you always become the best.
