As the MORNING relfects the DAY, does the CHILD reflect the MAN?

Question

how much of your child-like traits do you carry to adulthood?

=))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Good day/evening 2 all!!!!

Answer 1

As the MORNING does not reflect the entire day, the child cannot reveal what a man he is to be.
In the span of the day after the all bright dawn, clouds may linger, and rain may fall. Each minute of the hour brings unexpected turn as the road of the day comes to an end.
I believe every child is a child of splendor and beauty. That no child is born without the right to be. But like the hours that bring changes in a day, a child's curiosity and encounters with his surroundings may lead him to some surprising doors which may either sustain or alter his true self as he grows and matures.
So, I say that there is no guarantee that a man, as he is now, could had been reflected in his early childhood...except perhaps for a few.

Answer 2

Hi enki, if you mean, is the child REFLECTED in the man--I'd have to say a resounding yes. If the morning begins with dense, somber clouds, we can be relatively sure there will be rain, or perhaps a stormy day. The day begins with the somber clouds, while making transitions throughout the day, but within the perimeters of the morning. So, as a child is born with inherent traits/personality--environment & expereince take this true thing--& "alter" it in many ways. But never outside the boundaries of the unique person. For example, a loving famliy will never change the born psychopath. Mistreatment or abuse will never make a person an abuser, unless they were born with such tendencies. Many disagree with me here, but I've seen enough adults who were total opposites to their family/environment on which to base this.
An offshoot of the subject--the child & the man co-exist always. It's a matter of whether or not the man "allows" the child to emerge. That is truly a harmonious way to live!

I've retyped this three times, & it absolutely refuses to add "nt"! Curious!

Answer 3

hmmm.....
Me for example. I am still inquisitive, intellegent, pensive, distractable, sweet. These things don't change. These are fundementally in my makeup.
But I have added history. When I was a child I thought things crawled in my bedroom as soon as I switched the light off, but daddy was down the hall to protect me; I would fall down and he would be there to pick me up again.
That was a simple time.
Never can go back there again. Now I understand that what goes bump in the night is far worse then I thought when I was that little girl and daddy can't protect me afterall!
This is learned. I came to this conclusion through years and years of reality. I can't ever go back and feel the way I did as that little girl again.
Now I am still all those things I listed above, but they look different manifested in my daily life.
Where there was a confused and wobbly little girl now stands a confident and stable woman.
Confidence and stability that can only be built up by living.
I have been called childlike recently. So even though I have experienced the very bad along the way, I'm blessed that I retained that quality of appreciation and exitement for exploration!

Answer 4

These are two disparate questions. I will address each separately.

The child does not reflect the man. The child enters the world clean and pure. He has no preconceived ideas, emotional problems, or discriminatory attitudes. He craves love and once received, is filled with love and content.

The man, however, reflects the child - and I must say hopefully! It is a wondrous individual who carries the love and curiosity that a child naturally possesses. For he who does, is playful and brings joy to others.

For me, I will always be 11 years old in my heart :-)

Answer 5

How about in between. the child learns what the man teaches him or doesn't teach him but the personality and the strive for individuality makes him choose the path that is apart of him. there are things in life that will change you for the better and there are things that will change you for the worse, it your desire to be different that will make you become your own individual and then there are the things in life that you have no control over and it will change you rather than you changing yourself. I carry some but mostly they are just the opposite because of the things that I have listed above: a desire to be my own individual, a change that has impacted my life and made a change that I had no control over. Some of it turned out to be good and some not so good., but no matter what it is how I learned and what made me who I am today.

Answer 6

I think child reflects the man (or woman! :) ) quite a bit. The way I see it, I'm similar to the child that I was, only older and wiser. I was born with my own character, which has grown through life experiences , which have shaped me, but ultimately, at the heart of it all, I'm still the same person. Birth/childhood provide the foundation and life experience provides the rest.

Answer 7

Just as the weather can change, so can a person be molded. I think it would perhaps be fairer to say that the MAN reflects the CHILD, because the events we experience when we are young AND MORE IMPORTANTLY our reactions and decisions about those events shape the adults we become.

That said... I HAVE kept my love of reading, my sense of wonder about the world and all its glories, my sense of fun and the ridiculous, the sheer JOY of being alive. I don't intend to ever let those slip away.....

Answer 8

Depends on how young you want to go here... but yeah, generally I think the child reflects the man. Heck, you could even go to infancy if the man lasts long enough for what is called the second childhood.

I think of my past and realize I still carry much of it... a child is molded by family and environment, and though company and surroundings change, and may change frequently--the man's thoughts most often remain similar even after each change.

And good morning to you. ;-}}}}}}}}}}

Answer 9

i think that as you grow older you carry a lot of who you are into adulthood. the experiences, difficulties and problems you have encountered along the way to adulthood make who you are as an adult. i am in the middle of adulthood and being a child, at 20 i still have my mischevious side and my hyper crazy side but i also have a sensible side. everything that happens to you in your childhood and your road to adulthood affects you as a person and your personality reflects the childhood you had

Answer 10

usually people will lost their innocent and natural as they grow up...morning reflect day, but child cannot reflect man....
when adult look at kids, they always think"so cute", but they forgotten once they have been like this before!!
Not all the people still able to recall what they want and think when they were child....they just busy to move on to the end of their life.
But one thing can be sure is childhood determined a person's future character and thinking.....
such as ego, selfish,stubbon, greedy etc......
All these are waiting for human to pick them ....they only appear when people all are child....
That's why...you often hear children say that they can see and feel funny things....that is the things about to change them forever.......
