i've been living in this world for 23 years and i can say that my knowledge of the facts of life are still disorganized.
even so some are wreck.
back then.. as a child i see life as a paradise full of fun and good people. nothing to worry and no danger.
but as i reckon i see a lot of changes of how i see the way of life. it seems that as time goes by we begin to see dark side of living. lots of disagreement, failure, pain and suffering.
the truth of reality is starting to bite me.
everyday is an opportunity to learn and get the real deal but do i have to be thankful for that if the things i'll be learning are actually the ones that will destroy my aspect of life?
its better to know nothing than to know everything and suffer from it.
for you, how do you see life back then and now?

I've been living in this world for 59 years, and I'd say my life is certainly better than my life when I was a child. It's not alot easier, but for all the struggles I've been through, it's made me the person I am today, and that's not so bad, as I am a good person, and I've gained certain strengths I don't think I'd have if all that nasty stuff hadn't happened to me. Yes there is a "dark" side of existence, but you can transcend that if you chose to. One way to do that is to educate yourself...learn the nature of this material world. Understand that this world is not your home, you are here temporarily. Understand what causes the darkness you see, then learn not to be part of that cause. Be a ray of light, so that wherever you go, even in the darkest situation, you can bring some light to it. I guess as a child I was always full of fear and anxiousness. But for you, as a child...try to hang on to that fun and seeing people as good...because they are, in some way, somewhere in their hearts. If that's what you feel and see, then you will bring that out in even the darkest situations.
