Dimensions

Dimensions

In the eyes of a child, what are germs?

Just an extension of the many things they are taught to fear

Children fear not the economic crisis or life choices.

Being raised to see the world in only two shades; black and white.

They fear the black holes in their closet.

What we ‘adults’ see as skeletons and yet refuse to acknowledge our fear of them.

Black and white means a child sees no shades.

No shades of black or white.

Wrong is wrong and right is right.

However this color blindness is mostly cured as we grow.

We now see that some wrong can be right and some right can be pretty wrong.

A child’s mind always expects because we have been since we were just eggs and sperms

So then the question

When do we stop expecting?

Is it when we realize that the world actually isn’t in duo dimension but it is a multi-dimensional state of existing?

As we battle the very core values that was instilled in us.

Behind every once pure laugh we now find a reason to cry.

With every expression of love, we become quite aware of the balancing hate.

As much as stretch out, so do we also hold back.

The theme of balance is lost to a child, after all what demands balance?

The hours they play or sleep or eat.

Only one shade can exist in a duo dimensional state

So don’t blame children so much after we all passed through the phase.

Welcome to the dimensional state of mind.
