The Inner Child..


Life teaches us alot. Growing isn't an option. We grow with time... physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually... but the growth might be either way, growing better or going worse...
Changing faces, adapting to the situation, realizing, understanding, compromising... so much one learns and accepts...
They [parents, teachers, friends etc] tell us how to dress up, how to eat, drink, talk, laugh, cry, comment, compliment... Oh! So much to care about... and this world has a strange habit of making rules for everything. RULES.. rules dominate all our lives and we, either the better slaves or worst masters, always associate our lives with these rules... someday, we become masters and make rules on our own... in our minds and hearts. And someday, we become slaves to the rules They make of us.. and who are they? well, everyone except Us belongs to They.. and who are Us? I think I don't have that answer...
I don't care whether it's about breaking rules or following them... Rules, never existed anywhere...if you look down inside..
Because inside each one of us, is a child.. the Intransigent angel. The stubborn child of God. He knows no compromises. He doesn't understand "understanding"... If he likes something, he asks for it,shouts for it, cries for it... you can take that thing away from him, but he doesn't compromises... It's not because he doesn't follow rules or break them, but.. rules simply don't exist!! Rules always work as a barrier between feel and action... what that child feel, he does...
They say we shouldn't dream. We shouldn't let everything flow.. We should follow...we do follow... but what about that stubborn child??
This world is not made up of concrete.. it has tiny holes in it.. holes that show the way to eternity and peace. We, the civilizied people are way too big to pass through that holes... but that child isn't... I want to live like that child so that when no one is looking, I'll slip through that hole... to my Father.. The Stubborn God..!!

Reminds me of Einstien's quote about growing up...

Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.

and

The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education

Sorry, I am reading too much einstien and again my comment are best described by his comment

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
