Children by nature are miracles, as human conception is such a strange and wonderful thing. Sometimes children full an empty space in parents' lives, giving them a sense of hope or purpose. These little humans change lives, whether as seen for the better or the worse.
The curiosity children have shines in their eyes, as the simplest things amaze them. Things we take for granted- toys, shoes, water, hands, anything- are manipulated and inspected, as if to find the wonders they possess within them. Children are not born with preconceived ideas about what something is, what it's for, or how it works. It is up to them to work with an object in order to find that information. They learn from experiences what is good and what is bad. Likewise, children are not born hating anyone, no matter someone's gender, race, sexuality, religion, etc. If someone loves the child, they are loved back. As children grow, however, they are influenced by their environment instead of their own feelings. They no longer base judgment solely on how they are treated, but on opinions of others and stereotypes set by society.
If we could all keep our childlike traits of wonder and excitement, curiosity and nonjudgmental love, then the world would be a better place.
