What do you love about children?

General knowledge question Saphy Can Saphy be anything but dumb blond? Your choices are a. Yes b. No c. Dunno

Or yours!!!

Now that you mention that again. I think i need to change that very soon.

No frustrations whatsoever. I never liked children and I never will. So I guess I am not Everyone.

i think u have been suffering from some frustrations? don't know what? but there are something i guess....

Can I ask something? Have you been around babies of your aunts and relatives for too long? I mean, it is possible to get an overdose of it to a level that you no longer want them. Each one has a different level of course. If you were young and wanted to go and play but had to take care of siblings at that stage - be older than what you were - then some resentment can start building up. And that eventually leads to such feelings. I congratulate you for your honesty. It is understandable sarah. I think we all should be open to this aspect rather than try to coerce a person to go against their desires and feelings. Otherwise we will have cases like that mother who killed so many of her babies and buried them in her yard.

Dear, I also believe that honesty is next to divinity. They always speak the truth because they don't feel the need to lie. Why do we lie? We lie mostly because we are afraid or want to be excessively pleasing. They don't have any such obligation. If they are hungry they will ask you directly. They are shameless because they are too simple to hide their feelings with hypocrisy. That is such a wonderful thing. Most of us have lost this very important key to happiness and are searching for it everywhere. Thanks so much for your participation. God bless you

I agree with Biswa - you've described children beautifully!!!

Perhaps no one can describe a child as you have done here. Well, 'I'm sorry' is two words all right. You know how they mumble. They always make wise and economic use of words.

I wish I was a dumb blond!!! I prefer babies to remain babies. And I have played with quite a few, they are dependent on everybody who has love to spare. :)

I remember once scaring a child away. I had this beard and I went straight to this child, covered my face with towel and said, "Where is the baby", then removing the towel, "Here he is". The child gave out a terrible shriek and started crying incessantly. That was one heck of an incident.

Babies are smelly because they drink milk too much. Babies are dependent only on their mothers and not to rest of the world. There is always an invisible force that protects a baby when her mother is not around. We never actually grow up you know. We still have babies inside us. Some of these babies fight, some play with their dolls, some still stare at the television with awe and surprise. When you are surprised like that by some beautiful thing, you surely know there is a baby inside you. When you love someone beyond measure yet never get attached to him you know that only a child has the power to do such a sacrifice. There is a child in everyone of us that peeks into outside world sometimes.

Oh yes. You can surely be a child anytime you wish. You are actually carrying your childhood inside you all the time. The money, responsibilities etc, like you said are not beings. They are mere 'things'. So you can surely detach yourself from it any time at your will. This momentary detachment will give you back your childhood again.

Oh yes, they trust everyone around them. They trust their parents above all. They are loving and have great energy, all this because they are simple. I believe that they are protected by some invisible power. There is always something heavenly around them.

Shia, That is such a great thing you've written up there. I wonder if there is any relationship as wonderful as that of a mother and her child. Perhaps it is the best. You know, I personally think that the day our childhood is lost is a day to be mourned for life. A child as simple-minded as he is, contains divinity within himself. A mother being his nearest always shares a part of that divinity. What you wrote here reminds me of Sistine Madonna by Raphael. Thanks so much for this wonderful post. God bless you.

I completely agree to that. Children have a special ability to imitate everything you do in front of them. So it is important that you always come up with the best of your behavior. If you want to teach them something, the best way is to do it yourself in front of them.

That is quite true. They no nothing about vengeance. Sometimes they are afraid of adults who don't treat them well. They don't trust them and try to hide away. But then if the adult starts demonstrating love again, the children forget everything and become friends once with that person once again. It's in their nature. Wish we could be that simple and open-minded too.

Oh yes. When they sleep they dream about fantastic things. They dream about kings and queens and all wonderful things that they see around them. These things are often quite amusing. When they sleep they are in a different world filled with all sorts of imaginary things and beings. That usually makes them smile in their sleep. I wish I could have some of their dreams. But alas! As we grow up our imagination gets blunt. What a waste.

Children are awesome indeed, even when they are some others'. They are the ones always reminding us of our own childhood days. They also, in a way, revitalizes our own simplistic mind that we've left long behind. They are just amazing.

Oh dear. That was such a great narration. You remind me of my very own mother.
