Children are a wonder to behold, their innocence and playful nature a reminder of the colorful world that surrounds us. They see beauty in everything, their eyes wide with wonder and amazement at the world around them. As we grow older, we often lose touch with this sense of wonder, our minds and egos clouding our vision and limiting our experiences.
In a marketplace, people asked Jesus Christ who would go to heaven. Looking around, he saw a child and said, "Only those like this child will enter the kingdom of my father." The child's purity and lack of ego were what made him worthy of heaven, a reminder that we too must let go of our attachments and embrace the world with a childlike sense of wonder.
By transcending our mind and ego, we can regain our innocence and begin to see the world in all its colors and exuberance. This is the real paradise, where every moment is a new adventure and every experience is a chance to learn and grow. Let us follow the example of the child and embrace the world with open arms, discovering its beauty and wonder anew each day.
