I miss the nonjudgmentalness of chidlhood. Of looking at other kids and just seeing another kid, instead of a kid from a "bad" family, or "bad" neighborhood, or a "broken home" (as it was called way back when) or a "negro" (as my father called it) or any racial or religious difference. To me, the kid was just another kid. I didn't care where she or he came from or who their parents were or what color they were or what church they went to. They were either a good, fun kid, or not. I realize now that my friends at the time were a lot more sensitive to the "stuff" about other kids than I was, but I really miss just looking at kids and seeing them on their own merits rather than through the prism of crap society puts in front of you as the years go by. I think I still mostly see the person rather than the irrelevant stuff, but how can you ever know when the judgments were just so pervasive when you were a kid and parents talked about that stuff all the time? It's sad that kids lose that.

I have no desire to rekindle my childhood. I'm 28, and a grown adult.

As a child, innocence was innate. As an adult, experience is "processed"(: to integrate sensory information received so that an action or response is generated). I strive to be "child like" (not the same as childish).

*snip*(Luke 18:16-17)
“But Jesus called the children to him and said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.’"*snip* (i.e.*snip*"Although the kingdom of God is within us, we must receive it. In order to receive, or enter, the kingdom of God, one must enter it as a little child.*snip*)."

I wish all threaders well.

I miss that sense of belief and wonder in the world and in people that comes from not yet having to face the reality and the disappointments of life.

Since I refuse to grow up...

Of course I miss the carefree life of childhood.

I miss all the fun my brother, sister and I had in the summer. We ran around barefoot and played outdoors a lot. I wouldn't trade any of my childhood experiences for anything, but I'm happy where I am now!
