The thought of invincibility was no stranger to the mind of a child. As children, everything from the thought of flight breathing under water to dodging bullets like the man of steel, was curtain possibility. What was it about children that gave them the ability to be so confident yet simplistic to the point where adults where fearful at more moments than inspired? What ever this internal phenomenon was children all over the world were gifted that right gifted from birth. Greta Thunberg is a child activist who has used her gift to urge the world to improve on the world. The amazing conference took place at the United Nations where the world watched a child remind adults that we cannot forget about the earth. A child reminds adults how to be brave with a smile while adults in return teach children the art of fear and practicality. Naturally children lack a sense of fear and practicality as it is a construct taught from an old doctrine. Children have a sense of danger, most occasions you will never find a child contemplating on whether or not something could be done. The more frequent thought was when something would be done. The how was a simple answer to children from all over the world. If you were to ask a child how they would answer and the answer would be quick and concise almost intuitive "me". There was a child in Zambia who received a children's peace prize at the age of sixteen years old. Thandiwe Chama stood for education of children despite her young age fear was not a factor. Is it possible that somewhere in between growing up and becoming logical we forgot how to let go of fear. Is it possible that fear could be replaced with a child like sense of faith in one's self?
