Child for Life

              A child at heart....

                                ..... Forever

Yes, I want to remain a child. Forever. I never want to grow up. Never want to become an adult. No, I'm not saying this because I'm afraid of responsibilities. I also know that physically, this wish of mine cannot be fulfilled. But, emotionally it can be. That emotional childishness is what I want in my life. 

Children are so pure hearted and honest. They cry when they are sad and laugh when they are happy. That is how I wish we could all be. I wish that no one was scared of expressing their feelings; no one felt the need to hide their emotions. I'm not saying that everyone has to be an open book. You don't need to tell everyone the reasons behind your sadness or happiness. I just wish that we did not pretend. Just stay honest to self.


A child has a very compassionate and trusting heart. Have you ever pretended to cry in front of a child? The little one becomes so compassionate and  tries to wipe away the tears that aren't even there. I wish to be that compassionate. Also, i want to be so trusting that anyone would feel guilty to deceit me. I know that such blind trust isn't wise. But i don't want to be doubtful of everything. Compassion and trust help people build strong, long-lasting relationships.


A child's mind is open to everything. He is ready to accept and explore new ideas. He doesn't have set boundaries like adults. He is not yet conditioned to believe certain ideas and boundaries set by society. He loves everyone irrespective of colour, creed or status in society. I want to be like that. I want to give lots of love and accept people just the way they are, without any set bias or prejudice.


We all were exactly like this when we were kids. If we really want then we can remain a child for our whole life. I certainly want to and am going to try to remain like this. I hope you do too.


Till next time, yours
Pragya :)
