Where is the child in me!

How many times i must have asked this question to myself i wonder.

One thing i have observed is that, all adults without exception are just children with a mask on!

Some people are just brave enough to be stupid, innocent and be themselves honestly. While most others pretending to hide their childlike qualities end up cheating themselves. What good is being an adult if you cant retain the child within you.

What attracts me most to children is that they hardly care what others would end up thinking about them. They are just plainly happy in their fantasy world. The world which comprises of themselves and only those things/people who keep them happy.

Isn't it the simplest way to lead a life! I guess half the world's problems would end if people just "chose" to be happy.

Is age the only factor distinguishes a child from an adult. A big No :)

I feel maturity is in knowing and understanding things which are in our control and ignoring the rest. I also feel that maturity has a lot to do with experience and ability to think wise.

If given a choice do i want to become a child again. Well, partly yes and partly no.

I like being at my age where atleast certain things are in my control rather than with "adults" :D

Things which i miss is maybe being pampered to start with :P

i also want to remain innocent and oblivious of whatever is happening around me as long as i m happy :D :)
Just being oblivious of many of the worldy matters keeps us in peace. Doesnt  it?
Somewhere deep down i feel that is a way to be closest to God.
Who is thee who cant seek God within thyself. Didnt God create us all to be just a child.
Did we humans outsmart God's expectation or are we just confused.
Is being simple the most difficult thing. I wonder..
