Becoming the child. Something to think about.

As adults we allow the worlds problem to take away from the innocents we once had as a child. Maybe it is time we reconnect with that innocents . The imagination and creative a child has never truly leaves when we become adults. It just gets pushed aside by all the other things we experience as we grow. Each day can be a thought of something new and we can always learn as we grow. We may not be able to re-capture are lost years from aging, but we are able to live a life with innocents, love, and joy in our hearts.

2. This reminds me of a review of _My Neighbor Totoro_

A Japanese critic, when reviewing the original release of Hayao Miyazaki's Tonari no Totoro said something to the effect that as a child he knew many important things that he forgot as he grew up. He liked the film because it reminded him of those important things.

I don't think that I'm with you on innocence as one of those important things, however. The hard lessons I've learned in life . . . I would never want to have to go through them again. Once was one too many times. There's no going back in that regard.

4. innocents as in what I mean

Innocents is the look on life before you understand it. When we are growing up we don't know the effects of life. There is a innocents to explore new ideas and new ways of thinking. The innocents is all about being open minded.

When we are children we want to be anything and do anything. We don't know that a dollar can stop us from reaching are dreams. We also dream about becoming what we want. It is that lost of dreaming that is important. Without dreamers who will guide our future?

5. You don't have to be innocent to dream

The dreamers who make their dreams come true are extremely practical people. Their dreams remain dreams otherwise.

And it's "innocence," people. "Innocents" means multiple innocent people, as in the "Massacre of the Innocents."

6. very true and it also means the ability to change and grow as well

A mixture of passion can be applied to it. There is a lot to think about. There is also the ability to take time out and learn something new each day in order to keep our minds growing.

3. It's hard to find innocents in this eye opening world. I was 6 years old

when JFK was killed and although I didn't understand fully I knew then that this world was full of hate/ I think that was the beginning for me.
