The child delights in the simple things of life.
Yes, sometimes delight can take you in the wrong direction,
and yes, we have to steer the child from that.
But delight itself is good.
To live is to delight in life, like a child.
The delight of right The desire for one to receive joy is good, but better for one to give joy. As perceived, joy contains both and becomes as one. For He above is One. Reply
Very Good
I have written two posts this week objecting to some of the daily doses as to their excess of adulation for the behaviors of children.
Today, in my view, you have gotten the balance just right. Sometimes the child does not understand what's right and/or is not trained to be right and acts contrary to the right. . But there is as well a sort of innocence in a child; there is a freshness of spirit; and, yes, there is often pure delight. These are wonderful things that must be respected, protected, and built upon.
Thanks for the inspiration and thought on this most important matter.

"We have to steer the child away from the wrong direction" -- Who are the "We" who steer the adult away from the wrong direction ???
Are they the guards who are to be appointed along side the judges, armed with clubs and whips ?
