Murdered by Maturity

Write about a person/place in which your relationship/connection with has changed irreversibly: Childlike ingenuity..

Children are the geniuses of the world, born of ignorance. They donʻt know anything other than their own thoughts, questions, and experiences. It is this lack of knowledge, this naive state of mind, that I miss. It is that lack of knowledge of how the world works that allows children to think of things that we have been made too dull in the mind to think of. The adults have all of the resources, and no imagination, meanwhile our children are blessed with wondrous minds, and yet are shot down by a lack of any means to follow through with them. Children are the Picassos and Einsteins of everything, but we bludgen their talented minds with our “knowledge”, we destroy the creative process with our intellectual maturity. How does our world look right now? Maybe if we could still dream like our children, we could stand a chance of making it a better place for them.
