Animal I Have Become

I recently found myself walking around the local mall and just being a general mall rat. I had no purpose to be there other than to just waste time. Eventually, I found myself sitting in the food court just observing the people that surrounded me. There is a carousal located inside this mall and conveniently right in the food court I was at. As my eyes wandered around the court they eventually fell upon the children that were playing on this carousal. I have always enjoyed children, they fascinate me in numerous ways. First off, as a human we are always wishing to grow up and escape our childhood yet, once we have lost it all we want to do is get it back. Secondly, we were all once children at some point during our life and thus they are our origins. Thirdly, children show the true reason that all humans are evil in nature.

Imagine when you were a child, if you can anyways, and how your parents were always trying to teach you "good manners". Maybe if you had a younger sibling you could actually witness this process. Your parents would always try and instill their guidance into the child and thus teach them the difference between right and wrong. The thing is if you go anywhere where there is a group of children they are naturally rude, brash, and generally impolite to each other. The word "mine" comes to mind when thinking about young children. Their mental cognition is singular and thus will only look out for themselves. If someone else comes along and wishes to impose on the original child's ability to exist happily, or at least content, singularly then problems arise. The original child will lash out verbally, physically, or emotionally to try and reconcile the problem of another being coming into their singular existence. This is human nature. This is the origin that all adults eventually are birthed out of.

Human beings are evil creatures. Children prove that much and it is difficult to argue against. Surely we can try and tame the evil in the child and thus create one who hopefully strays away from that kind of attitude but, we will never be able to cleanse it from their mentality. We are born with the idea of survival of ourselves as the number one priority and this is where our original fault comes from. No amount of parental guidance can stop that from happening. I suppose we can only do the best we can to change the child and create a well mannered being who looks out for others before initially looking out for themselves. I don't plan on having kids anytime soon to test this theory though. Children are fun but they are conniving little demons, bless their hearts. Alright I'm going back to painting for a bit. Here's to you not having children any time soon!
