Children Tell The Truth

It is quite normal. Children have the tendancy to tell the truth. Many of them even have enough mind to speak what they think. You can’t blame them for what they say, they really do not know what they are doing. They don’t understand that they are wrong in our books.

But we should listen to children. Listen to what a child has to say. Sure sometimes it is nonsense, but you may never know what may pop out. Kids have more guts than adult do when it comes to telling truth about something. Children do not push it away and ignore it, they try to understand it. We, as mature individuals, push away these fears and question that arise to us. Who is more mature: children or adults?

Maybe we should look up to children, because sometimes they are right. We are only human too. We can be just as wrong as children. Mistakes are mistakes.

The video below shows how a 4th graders stumbles President Obama with a question that the whole entire City of New Orleans could have clapped for. “Why do people hate you? And why, aren’t they supposed to love you, if God is love?” Tyren asked.

Obama’s response: “First of all, I did get elected president, so not everybody hates me; I got a whole lot of votes,” Obama joked. “A lot of it is what’s called politics, where once one party wins, the other party feels like they’ve got to poke you a little bit to keep you on your toes. So you shouldn’t take it too seriously. But people are worried about their own lives. A lot of people are losing their jobs right now. They’re losing their health care or they lost their homes to foreclosure and they’re feeling frustrated, and when you’re president of the United States, you’ve got to deal with all of it. You get some of the credit when things are going good, but when things are going bad, you get some of the blame.”

Now tell me, who told the truth?
