sad init

the untethered mind
not restricted by religion
or bias
or moral standards
or bogged down with history
or hatred
the mind of a child
like a clean sheet of A4

.............................

will you blot the landscape? yes you will
will you spoil the view? yes you will
will school fold the paper in half, then half it again? yes it will
will it screw it up in the way only schools can? yes it will
sad init.

It is sad. Children are so fresh and clean. Although, from what I see, the religion, moral standards and hatred are stains acquired at home, not at school. At least, that's the way it appears here.

Sad is right. We are born with the perfect mind. Thank you for posting this.
