Children
are
philosophers,
as
they
are
always
in
pursuit
of
discovering
mysteries.
Children
are
mystics;
they
are
present
in
the
moment
and
do
not
have
the
avarice
for
power
and
ambition.
Adam
&
Eve
had
a
childlike
spirit,
concupiscence and
greed
did
not
penetrate
into
their
world.
It
was
the
human
ego
that
banished
Adam
&
Eve
from
their
heaven.
Even
if
monks
abandon
their
homes
and
their
reliance
on
the
material
world,
but
still
hang
on
to
important
factors
like
ego
and
cupidity,
gradually
this
ego
turns
to
be
their
temple,
church,
palaces
and
wars
under
the
name
of
God
and
the
sanctities.
Smart
people,
escape
from
the
material
world
and
start
fighting
with
their
egos,
yet
the
less
intelligent,
stick
to
this
world
and
fight
with
others.
When
you
struggle
for
power
and
greed,
you
are
in
fact
in
battle
with
yourself
and
your
God
and
that
is a
sign
of
distrust,
achieving
supremacy
and
being
away
from
one’s
true
self.
What
matters,
is
reaching
the
child
within,
which
is
the
most
difficult
war
of
all.
What
matters,
is
the
inside
and
getting
to
know
our
own
being
in
this
world,
and
the
only
miracle
that
can
admit
us
to
the
heaven
we
have
been
expelled
from,
is
acquiring
simplicity
and
a
childlike
soul.
In
this
collection,
I
have
tried
to
observe
our
cruel
contemporary
world
from
behind
a
child’s
pink
window,
which
represents
a
kind
of
an
ironic
look
at
wars
and
serious
issues
of
today’s
world.
