-WHEN I GROW UP I WANT TO BE A CHILD-

Here's how it works, you simply turn your head in the opposite direction and pretend not to see. Simple as that. And it has helped me live a happy life. Try it! Right there, another homeless child! Keep walking straight and when he's right by your side, side by side, simply turn your head the other way. Simple, huh? I've done it for so long that it is almost unconscious! Do it every time you see a hungry child, the homeless, the elderly, the poor, the exploited, you name it! If you don't want to see it, you don't have to!!
No, not me my friends! I sometimes wish life were that simple. That you could pretend not to see things, the crude reality that I see daily. Go ahead, switch on the late night news, it's a horror show! Just feast your eyes on what we have become. You name it, the human race has done it! Child abuse, drugs, mass destruction, racism, crooked politicians, police officers beating a man for his skin color, greed, envy, revenge, even killing in the name of God! it's all there! Just sit back and enjoy the show.

I sit there and nod my head as I am more and more aware that, perhaps our nature is wrong. We should grow up to become children, and not the other way around. But it seems that the older we get, the worst we make it for our own children. And for our children's children.

We hold the remedy to this in both of our hands. In one hand is the little jar of pills to help you pretend not to see a thing. And in the other is the freedom to chose and act! The choice to change what we feel is wrong! We have a choice. We can act now or regret later. Just don't pick the wrong jar, and for heaven's sake, grow up to be a child.
