A thought...

Isn't it simpler to lead life for yourself, rather than for another, and expect reciprocation?

That I am opposed to interference is no new thing. Every person has a life to lead, a set of principles to live them by, and some small, perhaps whimsical goals in mind. Yet ever so often, we lose these goals to rectified thought, born from the factories of education, and the suffocating comfort of belief.

Children do not reason. They do not research nor plan. Children do not lead a life, they live it. Adults grow up, and forget the sound of their own voice, drowned under an incessant storm of expectation. Adults reason, they live. Children dream.

What use is a life without a dream? Will you, ten, twenty or thirty years down the line, sit up in bed one day, as a childhood dream comes back to you? Will your world then seem unfamiliar, strange, almost manufactured? Will you feel like you're leading another person's life? And maybe in the midst of all that, you will hear a small, accusing voice that asks you where its dream went...

When I was a child, I had a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look, but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child has grown
The dream is gone

Wouldn't you rather risk being a child a few years longer, than lose your dream in the hurry to grow up, to please, and to be accepted? Just a thought...
