No Trace of Guilt, No Stains of Hate

What is unique about a child, is that they don't hate you. Even if you scold them, they just keep coming to you, with no trace of guild and no stains of hatred. Earlier today, I was whining here about my nephew who was so stubborn in church this morning. But look at what we have tonight, while I was talking to my sister on yahoo messenger, he came to me, and he talked to her aunt, he keep smiling while looking at our image on the webcam. These children makes us mad, tests our patience, and even get to our nerves at times, but they're just adorable at times, they're cute, like an angel... very ironic, paradoxical, yet we know, we love these little creatures... lol

That's the children. They can feel if they are scolded out of love. It was a bit different with my brother though. He never liked my Aunt who passed away three years ago, God bless her soul. It was because he was criticized all the time, being compared to another kid, was put down and was scolded for small things. To my aunt my brother was worthless and he felt that. And he never forgot that. So you see it depends on how we feel for them. If we try to correct them with love, they will never keep such hatred.

Right! It depends how you do it. When I scold them, I'll be later on explaining why I did so. And I sometimes explain why the "dos" and "don'ts" so that they'll know. Even the youngest of them, who can't speak yet, seems to understand.

All children are adorable by nature, they usually don't habor hatred at time of their birth into this world, all of them are pure in their heart and spirit. Hatred is a learned behavior and mental state forceably install into the mind of these children by adult like parent, leaders from political and religion institution in the process of growing up in many countries. It is the truth about all children not just one child, they are the purest form of creature ever existed among human beings in various stages of development into adulthood.

Children are indeed amazing! They are so forgiving and actually in the long run, they will respect you for setting guidelines and standards for them. (that one may take a while though! lol!) ACtually, until we can have some of the characteristics (not maturity levels of course) of children we will miss much of the greatness of life!

All so true! I scolded my nephew earlier, but when we got home, he just come to me. And I told him "Kiss uncle!" He just kissed me. Without hesitation. Very forgiving indeed! They really are angels. Cute little angels!

Well that could be true, but we mustn't abuse the kind of innocence they have. It is true that they will for give you if you commit a mistake to a child but as they grow older and will know the right and wrong. We must be careful of what we do to them because it is us who will shape the child's identity or who he/she will become in the future.

True, we will be responsible for bringing them up into the way they will be in the future. Thanks for that kind reminder my friend!

Yeah you are right, they easily forget and forgive. They are so innocent and pure from any anger and pain that's why they live carelessly. We should all strive to have these qualities of a child because after all it's where we have started.

They live lightly and freely, no worries! They just cry when they need something and when they get what they want, they laugh like there's no tomorrow!

What is really sad to say about this statement is that the fact that children don't hate their parents is the reason that some people choose to have children. There are a lot of people that grow up and never really feel love in their lives and for that reason they decide to have a child of their own so that there will be someone in their lives that will love them regardless. I would never be one that would have had a child for a selfish reason like that, but I know that there are people that do base their decisions on this fact.

Kids are resilient, and that's just perfect in this phase when they are still learning as they grow. Adults have to reprimand them at times if they do something wrong, and if they weren't resilient enough, they'd grow up as rebels and we'd have daily news of kids killing their own parents or guardians. I have to yell at my daughter a few times a day, because she's just so hard headed. But, later on, she would come to me and sit on my lap and start hugging and kissing me like nothing happened. I just love it when she does that.
