SO, I recently saw this beautiful picture of 2 kids hugging. 1 was a child with dark skin and 1 was a child with light skin. They were truly happy & full of love and the quote said “We are not born being Racist, we are born just loving”.   This one really hit me hard.

Children are 100% pure. Think about it, when a baby is born they only have 1 thing that they know…. love. They aren’t yet scared, or angry, or sad. They are only love.   The trust 100%, they love 100% and everything else is taught to them by the world.

SO how is it that children are taught these things? Well there are many ways these other “programs” are taught, through parents, siblings, school, television, & strangers.  Children observe and mimic what they see happening around them.

My youngest baby smiles ALL the time, but that is what he is being taught because every time he is around me I am constantly smiling at him and kissing on him (doing my best to raise a happy loving baby).  I have a friend who’s baby always cries, fusses, and seems unsettled most of the time, so I started to observe her behavior around her baby and what I noticed was my friend continuously talked about negative things around her baby, very rarely smiled to her baby, and just acted as if parenting was the worst thing that happened to her, and it is reflecting in her baby.   Poor sweet baby.   All a baby wants is to play, love, and be loved. That’s it! It is that simple!

Now don’t get me wrong, I have 4 kids and believe me, Parenting IS hard work, BUT it is not the baby’s fault, it is not the baby’s burden. Baby’s don’t choose who their parents are, they don’t choose to be created.  SO it is our job as their GUARDIAN ANGELS (because lets face it, that is exactly what we are to these beautiful spirits who are joining us on this earth) to make sure they keep love and trust in their hearts.

Children grow up to be adults, children grow up to have children of their own. Children will influence the world around us in a very big way. So why do people constantly treat children as if they are not worth investing into?  They are the ultimate investment!  It is not our job to break them down & make them behave a certain way, then complain & critizize the world around us & wish for changes that never happen.  The changes start when they are babies! The changes start with us, we are their guides, we are their mentors, and WE are the ones who will decide exactly what the world is going to look like in 20, 30, 40 years BASED on the “programs” we install into our little children now.

One of my favorite sayings is:

“All it takes for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing” – Edmund Burke

It is true. We are the good men & women, evil is not the devil or curses or whatever else, Evil = hate.  So for the hate in the world to end WE must instil love & help it grow!
