“There are no seven wonders of the world in the eyes of a child. There are seven million.”
-Walt Streightiff
Children truly see the world through unclouded eyes, in everything they see beauty and hope. It never ceases to amaze me what the eyes of a child see that the eyes of adulthood cannot, as they have become so blinded by the tediousness of life. The world would be a better place if only we could all look upon it through the eyes of a child.
In childhood we forget not the simple things, one finds joy for hours in a simple box. Yet somehow with time we soon notice not the box an eagerly tear at it to see what is inside, never to be fully satisfied with what we find. Our lives spent searching for what does not exist, while in childhood we search to find everything that exists just so we may see it and learn from it.
Maybe if we say the world with pure wonderment one would find less poverty and suffering, and more simple joy.
