Kids are free, untouched by the necessities of the life. The concept of “necessary” doesn’t register itself with them.
For a kid, everything is necessary and, at the same time, nothing is. Is it necessary to eat? Sure, if he is hungry. Otherwise, it isn’t.
A kid does nothing because it is necessary to do it. He does it because he wants to do it.
In that sense, a kid always emphasises inwards, focuses on what is important to himself. As we grow, we forgot what matters. We emphasise what’s external.
The societal pressures. The fear of missing out. A kid knows none. I like this is all he cares about.
Listen to the kid in you, he sits closest to your heart. And if you can’t hear him, life’s going to a difficult journey, my friend. Be quick and wake up that kid within you.
