like a child

It really lifts your spirit up to see children laughing. The smile of a child is definitely one of the delightful things in life. It is innocent. It is pure. It is true. In eyes of the children everything is beautiful. They laugh. They giggle. They play. It’s a carefree life. No problems. No troubles. No misery. It’s a life everyone dreamed of. But then they grow up.

Growing up is definitely the worst thing that ever happens to us. As we grow up life slaps us the painful reality. It’s not a carefree life after all. We got problems. We get into troubles. And some of us live in misery. If only we could be a child again we will surely savour each moment and won’t let any of it slipped by doing nothing. We won’t spend any time being unhappy. We will play our hearts out.

But we could never be a child again. All we can do now is reminisce our childhood and how happy we were back then. Back when it is so easy to laugh. Back when we cry shallow tears. Back when everything isn’t yet complicated.

We are all grownups now. We don’t cry shallow tears anymore but we do cry happy tears. We need good reasons to laugh and sometimes we laugh for no reason at all. Life truly is complicated. And the sad part is we are the ones who complicate it. So we should not let our children live a complicated life. That is so much for them to take. We should make sure that they will enjoy their childhood as much as we did, that they can laugh and play their hearts out as we did and that in their eyes life is beautiful just like how we, as a child, use to think life is, and because it is. And we should not forget to live life like a child because truly we all are a child within.
