Hook

Are we "growing up" or giving up?...when did living a substantial lifestyle take precedence over simply LIVING?....*UNANSWERED QUESTION*...as children we consistently exercised the abilities of the creative MIND .... things such as drawing pictures based on INDIVIDUAL perception and taking the time to go outside to enjoy nature were done on a daily basis and with so much zest...we were NATURAL born innovators...when we ran out of games to play we then made up our own....it baffles me how we were able to transition from such a PURE moment in time into a "life" filled with mediocrity...why is that true HAPPINESS is so commonly compromised?...all in the name of some manipulated concept of progressing in the so called "real world"....I couldn't even begin to imagine what it would be like to not IMAGINE...to experience a life without VISION (3rd EYE) ...life in itself would be death by conformity...so eager are we to make such a crude sacrifice...are you yourself not brought to tears whenever a child dies?...UNANSWERED QUESTION*

Excellent write my friend. I truly agree with this all the way...especially with the fact that I'm surrounded by children on a daily basis. A lot has changed since my teenage years.

Thought provoking write. I think.. any child, even the one inside us all would bring us to tears when they die.

agreed...I think people just often miscontrue the whole idea of it all...there's a huge difference between maturing as a person and leaving a large part of yourself behind and bothering to look back...
