Innocence Lost

Well it feels like ages since I last wrote but that's alright since it's better to be late than never. I've been blessed with a thinking machine (although a bit rusty of late) and my absence had nothing to with lack of thoughts but rather lack of will.

There are many questions whose answers remain suppressed to my ignorant mind and one of such is regarding the impeccability of a child. Most people love to kiss and hug children tenderly because of their adorable nature and behavior. I like to do the same and one of the reasons I do so is to feel reborn and unstained which I once was long time back. I once saw this baby at someplace and I was reminded of the shear immaculate nature of god. The best part about children is that their hearts and minds are free of contamination unlike ours. They don't posses any sort of evil and everything about them is pure and more. But the ugly truth is that some/most of these children grow up to be murderers, rapists, prostitutes, junkie and worst of all.........heartbreakers. It's true people make their own choices and everyone chooses to be what he/she wants to become hence I can't help but feel sorry (sometimes gutted) that what was once pure and simple turned out to be the ugliest monster on the face of this planet. I just feel let down to know that the child I'm hugging and kissing just might choose to be the scum of the earth. It just seems so cruel on their god-gifted innocence........sigh........so I'm left with no choice but to feel their innocence..........while it lasts.
