“Childhood means simplicity.
Look at the world
with the child’s eye - it is very beautiful.”
– Kailash Satyarthi
“I’m happy to report
that my inner child is still ageless.”
- James Broughton
As we slowly turn into adults, a constant throbbing thought thrives in our mind that wishes for us to go back in time and become infants again, so that the complex adolescent life shall no longer affect us. Fears and
insecurities arise and wreak havoc in our day-to-day life.
The ability to achieve things that we desire; the sharing of family responsibilities; falling in love; being fit; going away for a long trip with best friend; spending quality time with siblings, etc. are some of the beautiful
things that we come across as adults.
When a child laughs, we can say with certainty that he/she is happy in the truest sense, but the same action cannot be attributed as a sign of joy with adults without a tinge of uncertainty. It might be a facade or a coping mechanism. It is because we don’t actually live like kids, we are forever conscious of the world that’s around us, which plagues our inner thoughts like a virus waiting to pounce upon
the population to start an epidemic.
A child lives at the present, he/she have no reminders of the past and of course no dilemma about the future. We must learn to have that spirit towards our own lives.
The best way to live is to grow with time but, also keeping the soul that of a child. Being a child at heart is the easiest way of living without complicating life.
