The child is not a child;

The child is not a child;
The child is created when the person who identifies as parent or adult, re-acts to as what he has learned to recognise as a child, through the classifications we carry by being brought up in this society.
The child is a soul, a person, same as the adult or the old man.
Same as the woman or the man.
Treating the child has created it. While growing, it learns to treat itself as the child, so it starts to carry a child within.
This child is made up of all the reactions, reflections of ideas, emotions, thoughts, rules, and so on, going back and forth from the adult to the child and to the society and so on. Deep is all the same.
There is no child, there is no adult. What is reflected upon these roles is only a set of rules ones has to work through being part of a society. Every society has their own.

Imagine a society when we no more treat each other as roles, but we live , eventually reaching the maturity that this knowledge brings us.
Recognising the person, and not the role.
Answering to the person and not to our interpretation and impressions. Clear and transparent, without projecting. Becoming friends with our flaws, and being compassionate.

***

Imagine a world where each one of us tries to take care of another instead of themselves.
Then we have a world where each and everyone of us carries a little hole. A place of not looking, a void.
Imagine a collective of everyone looking somewhere else instead of within.
This is not sustainable.
It seems, taking care of somebody else is a nice thing to do, but avoiding this part of yourself, leaves the world a cold and empty space.

***

You are the world you are living in. Your inner weather, is crucial, is the space you habituate.
Observe your feelings, and emotions, mindfully. Not to judge but just observe. What is there?
What kind of space you are occupying? What kind of space are you creating, for your self? and the world.
The space of your being, either the mind, the thoughts, the emotions, of something deeper. Whatever is there, this is the world you are living in.
Not the external one. Not what you see. Because what you see is just a reflection.



***

As long as you only see reflections..
As long as your thoughts are projecting onto what's out there. or to the knowledge you gained, or just collected and learned, by education, and maybe not experience.
Then you know, it is just the mind. The forebrain[The “lizard brain” of the limbic system in the humans, especially in the emotional response processing center in the amygdala, will flood the perceiver's’ body with stress hormones e.g. adrenaline, cortisol, norepinephrine  ] , the newest of the three parts our brain consists of,  who is responsible for your logic, along with the environment.

***

Through observation you can go beyond these reflections. You can observe your own mind projecting onto itself and the environment. You can observe the loops, and maybe interrupt them, or even don't bother.
But you can surely realise, you are more than this brain.

***

So treat the child as who they are. Treat yourself as who you are.
