Looking at my little boy and watching him grow up, I become aware of all the things I've already learned in my life. Then I realize how many things I will spend, day in and day out, telling him over and over again. Reminding him of how to live, how to behave.
And then one day, he'll look at me and say: "I know already!". And I'll know he does indeed know. And yet I'll know that he doesn't really "know".
And then I'll probably look at my own life and realize that I don't really "know" either.
He's the sweetest thing I've ever seen. I wish I could quit working and just spend my time living and experiencing life with him and my wife. Sometime I convince myself, I would be content to just have some land to work and my family around me. I know though that I would then crave for an opportunity to share the life of my family with others.
There's a balance and I haven't found it yet. Looking in to my little boys eyes, I'm not so sure if I will seriously be looking to find a balance.
