Children are the true thinkers.
No,
Children are knowers
They know the world inside and out
They know all there is to know
About anything worth knowing;
Anything important
For all a child knows
Is everything an adult doesn't
A child may see two men or women kissing. A little excited, because a child did not know two people of the same sex did this, may ask their parents about it.
"Hide your eyes"
"Don't look at that"
"It's not human"
May be the response. This confuses a child, because while a parent may see a vulgar act among all humanity; a child simply sees two humans showing affection.
A child can correctly prioritise an infinite number of possibilities, whilst an adults judgment is clouded with doubt and other senselessly emotions.
Where an adult hears, a child
listens;
Where an adult watches, a child
sees;
Where an adult survives, a child
lives;
And where an adult struggles, a child
thrives
