Blooming flowers..........

‘Empower your child by giving him/her a choice and a chance. Let them learn to make their own decisions, when appropriate, and learn to trust their feelings.’-

A child is the purest form of living being in earth with a mind eager to decipher the truth of nature. They are like flowers blooming in a polluted environment. They think with a mind purer than an adult one.

‘Why do we have a groove like thing just below our nose and above our lips’-----this is a question asked by a 5 yr. old girl. How many ‘matured’ mind can think of such a question. Very few indeed…….What can be the reason? What happens with age that our mind stops being innovative and gets influenced by people around us? Who is responsible for that? ….We, or the society…………………

Do our schools encourage such innovative ideas or do they put some extra burden on little shoulders of these blooming flowers through some hackneyed teaching and hamper their blooming?? Lets go to a bit deep inside of this problem …..competition, it seems can be a reason for this. At times people look at out-of-box thinking as wastage of time and falling behind in the rat-race a direct result of that. Again why? Why is this competition? Is this because of the ever-increasing population?...May be that’s one of the causes. This calls for another topic……..

But for now, competition is good but why does it become unhealthy most of the time? But lets be optimistic. There are also a good number of people who believe in innovation, creativity, in doing something new which can be admired by generations to follow and the ‘flowers’ can bloom with their pure and innovative mind and can say…….

‘I think therefore I am’

what I think is, as we grow up we start taking things for granted, we lose the sense of wonder. We have so many so-called important things to think about that we stop noticing the world around us.
And of course the child mentioned is a very smart one.
