As I ‘ve read the news about this little one who is such in a predicament situation, I happened to remember the quote of Kahlil Gibran “Your children are not your children, they are the sons and daughters of life’s longing for itself; they came through you, but not from you, and though they are with you, ye they do not belong to you..”
Well, I believe in Gibran’s philosophy because I know God has only the right in us; and with that undeniable fact, nobody, even our parents have the right to put us into a situation that they know will hurt us as human beings. But contradicting this, there are still some people around us who find their responsibility as parents a negligence.
One of which is the family of this 2-year-old girl Anfisa, who unexpectedly happened to grow-up with drug-addict parents Lila (the mother) and Pasha (the Father). According to the reports brought by the photographs of the renowned Russian photographer Irina Popova, that can also be seen in her site, Popova took the pictures year 2008, when she ran into Anfisa’s mother Lila in the streets of St. Petersburg.
To recall the said event, “Lila was totally drunk but had a baby in a stroller. Lila agreed enthusiastically when Popova asked her about doing a photo shoot and even invited the photographer back to her apartment, where she met Lila’s boyfriend Pasha and their daughter Anfisa. She spent two weeks in their terribly run-down and messy apartment, where the couple partied constantly.”
Try to have some look at the said photographs of Irina Popova of Anfisa’s family and express your thoughts on the way you want to.
