Children are creative because their minds are open. Their minds are not pre occupied or polluted with various concepts and judgments. It is a tragedy that when a child is becoming an adult all these creativities are faded away.
As a child we are dreaming to be like our father or mother. Ultimately when we become adults we understand that we are not happy and we like to go back to our childhood days or school days.
Little children’s lives are not boring. You do not have to ask a child but when you look at them you can realize our happy they are playing happily.
Secret of their happiness is they can be happy with little things and they appreciate little things around them.
Children are not burdened with various concepts which have filled our minds. Our minds are preoccupied and always ready to make judgments about people and situations. Ultimately we find that all these concepts and judgments are not true but only illusions. These misconceptions have taken our freedom and happiness from us.
Adults have no time to appreciate little things and to enjoy and happy because they are always searching something like they have lost something. We must learn to appreciate little things in life. We have to keep our minds open like little children. We must learn to look everything around us in an excited and delightful way.
When we become educated and filled our minds and going to think logically we have no way of looking at a flower or a butterfly and to enjoy our lives. No one can be a child for ever. We are growing old. If you can maintain a child like outlook towards in and around you, you are a happy man or woman in this world.
