I think we've all seen a picture of a young child wheather it is ourselves or the child of another. Do you ever notice the eyes? Do you see the look of innocence? and happiness. No matter what kind of situation you put a young child in they will always find a way to make a friend and have fun. I remember going to the park or a playland in a fast food place and I wouldent leave without meeting a new person. The days of simplicity. All you had to do was go up to someone and say do you want to be my friend? They would never reject. You would spend the whole day together and most likley never see each other again but it wasent sad because you knew the next time you went to the park you'd make a new friend.

Why does that change? What happens when people get older that makes them less leanient to let people in. It feels like you reach a certin point in your life and you quit trusting people. People become so scared of the bad that they'd rather give up the good. Around the age of 11 I stopped making new friends and the park. Because who knows if the person is a murderer or a "creeper". Something makes you scared to get to know people and see the good in everyone. Its like a mindset that changes from the child to the teen to the adult, but why does it have to happen that way. Are we as a society really gonna let the fear of Iraqey terrorists, and rapists stop us from meeting someone with a good heart or sharing a joke with someone who looks down or hurt?

I saw a movie once and it was called a cinderella story, and it didnt have much to do with reality but theres a line that says "dont let the fear of stricking out keep you from playing the game". There is good and bad on earth but by giving up on the idea that there are good people and good things out there is not going to make the bad people dissapear. Look for the good rather than the bad and maybe just maybe this world will be good again
