Be the child... Again!

'Age is a very high price to pay for the maturity.'
Children are so adorable, aren't they? Their innocence, curiosity appeals us a lot.
Almost everyone of us, loves them. They don't have any prejudices or any
assumptions. They just don't know what is fear. They face everything courageously.
As we get older, we can not learn the things quickly because somewhere
inside, there is a guilt or a fear of the rising age.


There are many advantages of being an 'Adult-child'. Isn't that a funny concept ?
But, it is true. A small child has god-gifted abilities, which he or she loses with
the growing age. In schools, at home, it is taught to us that asking less
questions is the indicator of adulthood. Don't behave like a child, you are
an adult now. So we think that, being less curious is the adulthood.
Then we start forming prejudices, We start assuming things. In other words,
we close our eyes & refuse to accept more than what we know. It is the
biggest mistake we all do, knowingly or unknowingly.


Look at everything as though you are seeing it for the first time, with the
eyes of a child, fresh with wonder. Spend each day with some laughter.
Don't be afraid to feel... to get emotions going. Be enthusiastic, because
nothing great can be accomplished without it. Live your dreams.
Be curious about what is happening around you to gain more knowledge.
Don't kill the curiosity.


People fear to be simple. They are scared about the simple life. They try to
hide their simplicity & show the world they are complex enough to be adult.
In fact, it is exactly opposite. Every day, every morning, every evening, every
night is new for the children. They find happiness in very small things.
They know the truth, that enjoying small things is the real life. You can not
wait to be happy. Be happy right now is their motto. They smile at the
strangers. They love dogs, trees, toys. They don't need a reason to be happy.


Childhood is a season of life. It is the most pleasant season. It is the foundation
of our life. It is god's gift. Therefore, don't let the world ruin the 'Adult-child' in you.
Always be curious. And remember that, maturity can be gained only with curiosity.
These are the two parts of the same coin. When you kill your curiosity, your maturity
gets affected, In fact, it dies. Therefore, regardless of the situation, be happy
everyday. Laugh a lot & don't fear anything before doing because, nobody in this
world is perfect.


                            
                                       I'd give all wealth that years have piled,
                                       The slow result of Life's decay,
                                       To be once more a little child
                                       For one bright summer day.
