A small seed

Growing up kids must be able to fully challenge themselves, yet this is often a challenge taken up more by parents than by them. It is very easy to take the position of someone who already knows how to do anything, of someone who already knows everything because he has already gone through all the experiences that his children do not know, of the person with the always right, pre-packaged answer, with the look of "How is it possible that you didn't think of it yourself!?".

As if living without ever making a false move could be a premise to a peaceful life and not a kind of “Truman show” nightmare. One wonders what pleasure there is in living a life chasing someone else's ideas. If someone is convinced that they know how whatever one is experiencing ends, the desire to run towards the next destination also passes. Other than living with enthusiasm and biting life!
How beautiful it is instead to take one's steps with the tension and adrenaline of not knowing how it will end, this is what every child feels when he becomes "the first in the family" to work abroad, throw himself into sports or go to live far away to live his own experience. Better to leave this possibility to everyone, right?
