"Say of him what you like, but I know my child's failings.

 I do not love him because he is good but because he is my child.

 How can you know how sweet he is, when all you do is measure the good and the bad?

When I punish him, he becomes even more a part of me.

When I make him weep, I weep with him.

 I alone have the right to judge him for only he who loves may chastise"

- An Indian poet, Rabindranath Tagore, taken from 'Sepet'
