Do you believe that children are more expert in happiness than adults. well i do believe on it. The adult who can carry the spirit of a child into middle and old age is a genius, for he will preserve the truly happy spirit with which God endowed the young. The subtlety of Jesus Christ is remarkabale, for He tells us that the way to live in this world is to have the childlike heart and mind. In other words, never get old or dull or jaded in spirit. dont become super-sophisticated. What can you say about it? Do you also believe on it?

Yeah, as far as i'm concerned, the above statement is true. I mean, i realised that i've become more cynical and negative, its scary. My parents actually had to remind me that at one point of my life, i was quite jolly and happy-go-lucky. There are times i wished life was simpler but it seems that it is'nt. I envy children who ran around, laughing and crying and playing. They seem to be living the moment. As i'm typing this, i do feel the need for soul-searching..

I think the reason some children can be happier is because they don't have the worries or daily pressures on them. They don't yet know what life is all about, but this day and time even some children are unhappy at a very young age. I think Jesus tells us to be like a child because young children before this world gets a hold on them are so innocent and pure and they are so prescious. (infants) They have no jealousy or any thoughts of whats happening around them.
