“I’ll Follow You, Good-looking Little Man.”

Children are one most honest creature, yet easily being fooled. While I walked through the street of traditional market “Petak Sembilan”, I noticed how one good-looking little man could be the center of influence. What made the other children followed his movement and words? Could it be the good-looking face? 

They are too honest therefore any interest is easily shown. Looking at them made me smile and laugh. How the one good-looking little man ran, swung, screamed, and talked, being followed by the other children. They showed interest in one person as if they are submissive. However, being the followers seems as if they are being fooled. The other children followed and even obeyed anything said by the one good-looking little man. “You go see if my dad is around.”

This also applies to teenagers and adults as well. One person who seems capable to stand out can attracts attention. Beautiful woman with amazing personality and many experience and achievement is every man’s dream to have. However, one of the differences between adults and children are their honesty. Children stood out naturally because they are devout little angels who haven’t learn anything about the cruel world. Therefore they are no fake children. Yet adults, what seen and shown by them can be the opposite.

I am always amazed by children honesty. As an adult, sometime being honest is difficult. Because once you learned how the world is, you have to be able to survive the differences, acceptance, rejection and failure by being somebody else. Then, there are times when adults were fooled and depression occurred which will be their life lesson. Yet children are the opposite, when they are fooled they won’t be experiencing depression, because they do not know anything.
