As far as I remember, even younger than eight, I have always been guided by reason. Not cold reason, but that which leads to the truth, to the real, and to sane Justice.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Children astound me with their inquisitive minds. The world is wide and mysterious to them, and as they piece together the puzzle of life, they ask 'Why?' ceaselessly.
I can remember being eight, and I like writing about that age of innocence when children still have a sense of wonder.
As I go through life, I can see why my mother directed me that way, or why my father counseled me in that way. But some things you're open to when you're young, and some things you need to find out for yourself. I think that that's pretty universal.
I got really good input up until the age of 11, which is perfect. That's when adolescence starts, when I would have really wanted to rebel. Up until that point, though, it didn't feel like doctrine, and it gave me a great moral structure.
At around nine or 10 years of age, young people start to decide for themselves what's moral or not, and that's why I like writing for that age group so much.
The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom.
I think everything I have done in my life, my reasons at the time were right no matter how things worked out.
I was a little truth seeker as a child. I wanted more than anything to understand myself and also other people.
One of the great things about young people is that they do question, that they do care deeply about justice, and they they have open minds.
I have always been the kid who's asked 'Why?' In my faith, you're just supposed to have faith. But I was always like 'why?'
