Boyhood logic

After yesterday's storm comes this...

Some things make rather more sense to you as a boy than they would anyone with a more adult frame of mind really as much that it's the case the reverse can be true.

Just why wouldn't you believe you could have a pet tiger who truly loves you as their friend rather than seeing you as either an enemy to be seen of or a potential meal?

You probably feel that emotions are universal not just between people but also cross species, transmittable  and highly likely to be acted upon.

It isn't unknown for animals who have had a high degree of human contact to form close affectionate relationships with people, to sense you are its protector, caring for them and to recognize them after a long period of absence.

Many grown ups don't share the idea, the ideal even of people being able to living together in peace where differences are just resolved through discussion and give and take rather than war.

It may be true society has been battling with this for ages but is the problem down to the idea of revenge, calling for others to join in really down to what they've been taught at an early age by older generations even seeing it as a virtue?

Doesn't the continuation of war actually show its futility as of itself the means of resolving conflicts keeping the whole cyclical thing going on.

To me it's time to break out of these adult inspired habits.
