Yesterday I was talking with my nephew who is 8 years old lives abroad. Suddenly I asked him a question what is life? It’s not a usual question for such age and he even didn’t understand the question. Then I tried to explain him the question and he told me that he doesn’t know the answer. I told him life is when you feel happy you smile and when you feel sorrow you cry. He just shook his head. Then I asked him when do you feel happy? he started counting his finger and answered me without any hesitation:
1. when I do something good
2. when I come to my home and talk
3. when someone play with me
4. when I am near to a sea
: when do you feel sorrow?
1. if someone beat me
2. if someone kick me
3. if someone tell me a bad thing
4. find myself in a bad place
5. find myself in a war
I don’t know when children start building their own views. Sometime their thinking is even better than the adult.
