These children can teach the world a lot

This is more than two children saying "hello". This is a connection. A recognition of spirit that we can't understand.

When children are taught love, tolerance, compassion, and kindness, they share it with the world around them.

I love the innocence of children, and how their hearts are so pure and filled with untainted love.

I came across this story written by a mother about their visit to the beach.

"My daughter and I are in Myrtle Beach taking a sunset walk when this adorable and sweet little boy comes walking right up to her. He shares with her the shark tooth around his neck. He tells her his name and asks her name to which she tells him. They part ways while saying goodbye, walking in the opposite direction. A few minutes later he comes running back, in what seems to be in slow motion, yelling out my daughter's name. She turns around and is greeted by his smile. So they share a few words, mainly about his super cool shark's tooth that apparently gave him powers smile emoticon

Before they walked, talked and raced, I asked his mother for permission to take this picture and this was the result. No one positioned them, told them to smile and there was absolutely no hesitation on their part at all. When we finished walking and it was time to go they hugged for a long time and exchanged about 20 "goodbyes." 

This is a moment that we humans understand as just simply seeing no color lines, no judgement, no race, no hate, no shades. It's just pure....two kids meeting on a sunset walk without a care in the world...all they saw was each other. 

This world would be a much better place if we acted like these two kids."

I got such goosebumps when I read the story.

I love the fact that they have started a friendship out of the blue.

Children teach us every day that what matters in a person is their heart, and the goodness there in.

Not their race, background, financial well-being, or education. It’s about the essence of the person.
