A Utopian World of Children


One morning I thought, what would it be like if I were a child again. I thought it should be one of the stories I will soon write. Please leave your feedbacks, comments, and thoughts....

When we think about children, we think innocence, purity, and free spirited. They play around all day and don't expect the world to turn against them. Playing in the dirt, getting their hands muddy, eating worms, laughing and giggling, the world cannot be this horrible place everyone makes it out to be. Think, if children knew what we, as adults, knew would they still be considered children?

Take this picture below for instance...What do you see? I see race. I see gender. I see three four totally different individuals playing together. They are indeed different. They all have different qualities, different parents, different backgrounds and different features, so what makes them get unite and come together?

It is because they do not have the social construct that society has drilled into our nogens and it states that "we are different". As a child, everyone and everythign is all the same. Isn't it crazy to think that children will be the most faithful living things on this earth and why you may ask? Is it because they have not been taught the key ingredients that make up this society? And if that, if children are never taught, that is in school, through their parents, or by social influences, will children ever grow up to be the way the world is today? Judgmental and Unfair?

It is crazy to think that I would love to be a child again when children are limited and constricted of so many things that this world has to offer but yet children are the only living things that won't turn their backs on you. They are just innocent! Maybe children should never grow up, or be taught anything, or go to school, or be influenced by social media? Maybe, but unfortunately this is impossible!
