Bismillah
These past few days, I've come across statuses, articles, excerpts from novels and such that touch on the topic of children and the comparison between children and adults. It gets me thinking that being a child is better than being an adult.
A child is more courageous.
A child is more creative.
A child is more curious.
A child is more adventurous.
A child is more resilient.
A child is more persistent.
A baby who knows nothing will work hard (even if he is not aware of it) to learn new things. Eating, crawling, walking, speaking, running.. if the baby gives up along the way, he will never grow up.
A child has a lot of things to learn too. Writing, counting, peeing and pooing without diapers, befriending even.. and as a Muslim, he must learn how to pray and recite al-Quran. He wouldn't be able to achieve all these things if he quits without trying hard.
Sometimes, I think adults have to 'step down' a bit and think like a child again. Imitate a child's vigour, emulate his perseverance, be driven high in dreams and aspirations like a child has, so that the world would be a better place. :)
To end the post, I will give a riddle:
When opened, the world becomes light in a sudden
When closed, the world becomes dark in a moment
What is it?
