Thank. Yes, you're right, children are the most inciteful, remarkably wise and speak the unfiltered truth. That is because they've come from spirit and are nearer to spirit than adults are. The more we've lived our life, the further away we are.
Sadly, not everyone will filter new thoughts or think they need to, but anyone can. All we have to do is stand back and think about what we say and how we say what we say.
Just because we're adults, doesn't mean we will always get things right. If more of us were to stand back, we would see life from a different lens, not the one handed down from our parents.
