When I was Wise and Young

"Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them." (Antoine de Saint-Exupery)

There is nothing as refreshing as the innocence of a child.  What happens to us as we grow older and more jaded with life?  We start to make judgments.  Judgements create walls.  Judgments produce battles.  A child does not judge.  A child expresses needs.  I love the quotation (above).  It says what I feel.  When we grow up we lose something precious, a purity in point of view.
