Sometimes I must wonder that should we all revert to seeing things through the eyes of a child then perhaps we all might gain some advancement on true wisdom. A clarity of sight that creates a change of complicated problems into simple problems just might create the need for nothing more than simple answers ….. Who convinced us of the folly of ‘‘older and wiser” anyway ? Should that fable “older and wiser ” be true it might not be so impossible to elect a functioning two party government .
It was my great pleasure to be reacquainted today with two young boys who I haven’t seen for three years or more . They are both bright and intelligent and being products of quality parenting they are polite ….and they play the piano.
I remember expressing my amazement to the oldest some three years ago at his ability to play classical music. At the age of six or so he didn’t just play classical music on the piano …he played it well.
“ How did you learn it so quickly ? ” I wanted to know and he seemed perplexed that such a question need be asked…..his thinking, obviously much clearer than mine brought the answer.
“ I just read the music and then play the notes . ” he said ………
A simple solution to a simple problem is at hand for those that “want” to solve the problem. I guess that young man simply…… wanted to solve the problem.
