"When we are young we read and believe the most fantastic things." -unknown
Funny how easy it is for kids to believe the most illogical, irrational things. But they believe with their hearts and because of that they are blissful... I cannot lie, I miss those times when knowledge about the real world hadn't completely yet tarnished my imagination. But even now, doesn't it take far more imagination to believe against reason? And so you lose the ability to believe whole-hearted but gain the understanding of morals behind the story. Almost as though the realities of life teach you to read between the lines. Maybe that's why C.S. Lewis wrote, "Someday you'll be old enough to read fairy tales again."..and I truly believe that.
