What It Was Like To Be Young

I wish grown-ups would remember what it was like when they were young.
Once, everything was simple.
Now, everything is very complicated.
Once, the world was small, with only family – mother, father, brother and sister – being important.
Now, the world is so big with so many friends, colleagues and other known people all over the globe that there is no time for family.
Once, there was no care in the world, with faith in God and loved ones.
Now, there is only tension all the time, with no trust on anyone, even God.
Once, it was so easy to forgive anyone.
Now, it is impossible to forget anything, let alone forgive.
Once, small things like ice – cream or winning a race could make one smile ear to ear.
Now, the biggest car, the biggest house and the highest salary is also not enough.
If only grown-ups could remember their childhood days, could they once again find happiness in small things.
Everything would get better!
The world would be a better place to live in.
