Which Qualities or Characteristics of Childhood should We Strive to Preserve throughout Our Lives?

Looking at the young, bubbly children we often want to return to our childhood days. Those were really the best days of our lives. We live a life filled with fun and enjoyment. But that is the only time when a child learns the basic things about life.

            As a child we possess some qualities which we lose with time. Like when we are young we are very curious about things. Children often open up their toys to see what is inside. They keep on asking questions about every small thing. Curiosity is one quality that we should never lose.

Children are too innocent to know what discrimination is. They play with kids of all race, cast, creed and colour. But when we grow up, we become partial. This is the thing we should learn from children to treat every human as equal. Broad mindedness is what can make it happen.

            I still remember when I was a kid, me and my best friend use to often fight, and within an hour start playing together again. This forgiveness and ability to forget easily is hard to find in adults. If we don’t keep grudges for long the world will become a beautiful place to live.

            Children are said to be God’s creations. They always speak truth. This may not be practical at all time when we grow old, but we should try to be truthful as much as possible. These qualities will not only make us a better person, but also improve our social relationships.
