I often wonder that when people grow up why do they tend to lose all that they had in their childhoods..where does all that innocence go?
I met my nieces recently..adorable kids aged 10 and 6...and once again this thought crossed my mind...kids r so full of love..no prejudices of adulthood,totally oblivious to the complexities that exist in this world.on top of this i read this piece called "all i really need to know i learnt in kindergarten"..and it had a profound impact on me..
why can't the world be a nice place to live in like i remember it back in pre school? why do people lose their ability to cry over hatred n violence? why do people become immune to the sufferings of their fellow human beings? I have seen so many people just walk past an injured or dead being without even as much as a goose bump.i have seen peopl kill each other on issues like religion n the newspapers report it...and we read it with breakfast in the morning without even losing our appetites after looking at gruesome pictures...
its not that i have lived a happy life u know..i have seen enough of hatred to fill some within me too..and I have seen enough of all the seven sins to make me sick of them..but then there's something about kids that i m always attracted to..the pleasures u get u know..like i felt when both the little girls were sleeping each on one hand of mine..n enthralled by d magical powers of something as simple as a fairy tale...i just wonder when will adults realise the importance of such simple pleasures in life?
kids r filled with so much innocence and love and everything nice that God could make...i guess god wanted us all to be that way...but thanks to the sin of the forbidden fruit of adulthood..the paradise is lost.
these little bundles of joy can only see one thing in u...how much love you can give them ...and they have only one thing to give in return..and that is love...like my little niece giving me the first piece of her birthday cake and then running away without giving it even to her parents...
i have consciously decided to b a child at heart...love others n they'll love u back...that's the way the world should be...i guess i want to be peter pan.never grow up...
