Are The Kids Happy?

Are you happy with yourself?

This question is a question that needs you to think deeply about it before you give a response to it. I think the set of people who can answer this question without giving a second thought are our small children. These sets of people live the best life ever. They play with each other, they forgive each other when they are wrong, and they are as innocent as anything in the world. The only reason a child may not be happy is major because of hunger or maybe his friend wronged him. The parents must always provide for this child which means that a child cannot fend for themselves. A child needs a parent or guardian that will take care of him. I know that with these few points a lot of us may feel like we want to become a baby again. I used to think about it before but now I got over it.

Look at you, an adult. You need to take care of yourself. You need to fend for yourself. You need to fight battles in life. You need to go through hardship. You need to be depressed. You need to be sad. Don't get me wrong, I'm not rating for you to go through hardship, depression, or sadness but these factors sets in the more you grow older in life. You just have to accept them as a part of you and also learn to do without them. You need to learn how to handle these moods so that they won't cripple your emotions. I know if a lot of us think about what we have gone through in life, we will want to go back to being a baby which is not possible. If we think of everything we've gone through, we may not be happy. I have a question. What makes us think that children are the happiest people on earth?

What makes us feel like children are very happy? Oh yes!! They used to be but not anymore. The result of our actions is telling us very fast on us that it's affecting young children. It's telling on every one of us and no one is exempted. We are all paying for it including the innocent ones. Who are the innocent ones? The kids of course! They're innocent people who will surely suffer for other people's sins. I know you may not understand my point. Let's take it from here. In the war happening between Russia and Ukraine, do you know how many kids were affected? Did you know how many kids lost their loves to that war. All the children who witnessed that war including the ones who ran to another country, the ones who got injured and even the ones who died. Do you think they will be happy of the situation? Are those kids happy?

Recently, I watched a video online. I saw a woman who was maltreating an innocent child. The child was about two years old. She beat the child to stupor. What could the child have done the woman? It may be the child's mom who offended the woman and the woman beat the child so much. The child cried aloud but there was no one to rescue him. What can you say about that child? Is that child happy? Do you think that if the child grows up, he won't be mentally disturbed by what he passed through when he was a baby? The same thing goes with children who are being molested. Some people have been molested right from small. They are not happy about it and whenever they remember about it, they will become sad through that period. These are kids! Are they happy?

We think the kids are happy but the majority are being affected by the actions we take. Also, we are influencing them to act in that way. This is why you'll see a child do something wrong and he will be very proud of it. A child is tabular rasa. He doesn't know the meaning if what he has done and such a child will continue to behave that way! Everyone is being affected by the happenings in this world. I'm talking about the war, racism, religion and a lot more. I wouldn't say that they are factors of unhappiness. I will never say that!

One thing I want to ask on behalf of the kids is that...
