Children often get it right

Children do not start-off with biases and prejudice; they learn that from adults. Children have great le detectors, they can often see through our BS and lies with such precision that it frightens us adults, and then we do something stupid like ask them to be quiet.

Children do not see race, color, accent, culture; they see who is nice to them, who is fun to play with, and who is genuine. They can also learn new languages at an incredible pace if exposed to them.

It is always sad when we see children start to lose their innocence because the world around you is diminished somewhat. We could learn a lot from children.

Be like a child sometimes, life might be more enjoyable.
