A child through its innocence represents true human nature. Growing up essentially involves assimilating the learning from one’s environment. The moment when learning begins to alter one’s nature marks the beginning of the shift of one’s character from its innately human to a synthetic material self.
We all are innately human; it is through the metamorphosis that we undertake to adapt ourselves, so as to race in this materialistic world, which makes us non-human.
If one’s behavior is childlike then it is because one has treasured one’s true nature and not let materialism murk one’s inner self. One is childlike for one is human – that is the way one was born into this world and so should one be forever. One should never make an effort to hide one’s true nature, for humanity is one’s true religion and one should never shy away from embracing it.
I agree 100% !
ReplyDeleteI recently wondered at my 6 month old daughter's muscular flexibility. She enjoys sucking her own toes! It appeared to me that every one innately has this super flexibility of the body. It is sadly lost by activities like 'sitting quiet' in class rooms for long hours for years together.
People try to regain it thru Yoga and stuff, which is a positive trend, but I think it can be regained totally only by a revolutionary lifestyle change.
