A child's perspective on life
God may have created us, but it is true that across the civilizations, man recreated god(s). Gods of different colours and hues! ....Gods with form and without form!
The existence of god that man created helped answer many questions about his life and even the "after life"
My little daughter Maitreyi has her own perceptions about life.
We have told her about growing up: importance of proper meals.
She has seen our childhood photographs and at this age she has her own questions about life and their answers.
An obvious one in her mind is, what would happen to her parents, when she will grow up? She seems to have found an answer to that:
"Papa (or Mummy) when I will grow up, you will become smaller..... , .... and I will feed you, give you bath, dress you up and send to school".
I wish, science had a way to help her live her fantasy when she could parent us: although in India and also elsewhere, children are looked upon as investment for future! But that reverse care is different from this true reverse parenting.
And I hope when that happens, they don't have school home work any more!
Right, Maitreyi Mumma?
a childs imagination is very fertile and creative. as we grow up MJ, sadly we loose this creativity.
ReplyDeletemany a tiem, I feel that the world would be a far better place to live had it been run by children.
