Expressions…or…Emotions
Many varied expressions in kiddo’s face within a few seconds. Bemusing, surprising, staring, grouching, anxious, solemn, frowning, benign, seeking forgiveness, smiling, angry, naughty, mirthful and mischievous he is all in one.
It makes me wonder how the kid can go through all these emotions rapidly one after another naturally without being told or coerced into it. That’s the beauty of being a child.
Once you lose your childhood, you can never regain it and if you are fortunate you can relive it through your offspring or by watching the actions of other children around you. It’s simply irreplaceable and memorable for a lifetime.
A child is the true personification of innocence, beauty, charm and loveliness. It’s a beautiful package of all goodness bundled into one tiny being in the form of a child. A supreme creation of God.
Childhood, especially the first year of life, is the time when the child has nothing to care and worry about (when cared and provided for with tenderness by endowed and loving parents…and there are millions of kids that are not as privileged) except to eat, sleep and be cuddled with earnest love and affection by protective parents.
Unlike grown up adults, the child even but for a moment, does not carry or live with that emotion for a period of time. The reason is, it’s reactive, impulsive and is purely based on the child’s needs at that point in time. It seeks attention to be adored, cajoled and fondly taken into one’s arms and smothered with kisses. Adults also seek attention but for various reasons and purposes. In the case of a child it’s completely unadulterated as it only seeks love to be returned with love. It’s what I call as unbridled love and affection that’s altruistic and flows like an unconstrained river downstream in search of eternal truth, piety and sanctity.
This is utterly possible only in a child’s world when it’s free of mortal afflictions. Once the child steps into the sea of humanity, it loses all of it’s godliness. The child is engulfed in the demands, likes, desires and exclamations of artificial human life that’s truly devoid of pure devotion.
A devoutness that seeks to surrender oneself in front of God with implicit piousness ceases to exist as the adults seek to question everything, including the presence or absence of God. Whereas, a child trusts the caretaker (Parent) wholeheartedly and gives itself to them. That’s devotion or True Love…
