I know you heard this expression at least once. It's a true expression especially when you're a child. I tried to put myself in their place this week. I've been thinking too much about how nice it would be not to have to worry about anything. I know I'm being foolish. I shouldn't worry at all.
It is extremely difficult to face the doom and gloom of today's world. I really can't see how kids do it. They are so exposed to all the violence and evil that surrounds them on a daily basis. I know that I have problems putting it away from me.
Kids don't understand that their carefree and innocent stage of life won't last....At least some don't. It is hard to explain to some that there is a real world out there with real trees, real grass and a real sun. I'd like to blame the overwhelming influence that technology has on their young lives. It seems that every time you turn around new technology has improved and replaced human beings.
What is a person to do? You enjoy and savor every bit of freedom you have outside the confines of these electronic cages. Yes, they do wonderous things and bring people closer. Yes, you can post your thoughts and they become public instanteously. Yes, I admit that I like having this ability to post my thoughts online and have people read them....but I think we're missing something.
We're missing the human interaction. We're missing the feeling of accomplishment when we finish a task manually. We miss the beauty of a handcrafted item and the joy of creation.
Instead we are left with nothing. How many of us can truly say that time flew by because we were having fun? You can be honest. I can't think of a time myself that I truly had fun.
