Child like simplicity

Child like feelings are the feature of a child. Children do not understand many important aspects of life. So, they always expect everything to happen as they want, like a child can say, "Papa, I want to have an ice-cream!" If his or her father ignores the demand, s/he fails to accept it.

It is said, "The child is the father of the man." In this sense, we can understand that child like feelings can exist when a child grows up to become a man or woman and then to become old at the last stage of life. When a child grows up and becomes an adult, s/he becomes busy in different works. They get busy thinking about other matters. They do not have any curiosity about having chocolates and ice-creams.

Child like feelings, indeed, are the best features of a human being in his or her whole life. But that does not mean that we will act childishly.
