Wisdom

"Seek the wisdom of the ages, but look at the world through the eyes of a child" -Ron Wild.

I LOVE this quote. My goal is to live with this mentality; noticeably inconsistently succeeding, but trying to be cognizant of the pursuit to strive. I admire my elders that look at life with contentment and wisdom with their hearts clear of bitterness, judgment and hostility. To have seen horrible sights, lived a life of sorrow and pain but yet be at peace from perspective.
Although it seems consistent to me; the wrath and despair of seniors coincides with a lack of faith in God.
Each one still has much wisdom to offer, be it through successes or failures, we learn through our experiences.

I strongly desire the innocence of children. To look at the world with fresh perspective and enthusiasm. To not know the harsh pain, regrets and disillusionment to come. Everything so simple, exciting and new. To trust, love and make friends with little hesitation.
Consequently because of this naivety, we are effortlessly formed more so by childhood experiences then any other time in life. Amazingly, also quick to grant pardon and make amends.
