Children - Flowers of Life

        1st of June is International Day for Protection of Children. On that day we remember that every child of the world must be protected, honored and loved. Every, even the smallest child has his rights. It is so important, after all childhood is the beginning of a life.

     Here comes a sentence by one famous Lithuanian writer Justinas Marcinkevičius:

   "The beginning of it all, I think, is somewhere far, in the childhood, where a human, understands for the first time, that he is not alone in the word, that his hands and heart must cover someone from pain, violence and lies, that he has to be a HUMAN. That is the most important and hardest duty."

       Yes, it's true, we adults, are like lodestar for kids, they learn everything from us. They are just like a mirror, a reflection of us. Just look at the children, you can see how we treat them and interact with them. Kids - little copycats, they hear and see everything, even if  they are immersed in their own world. They learn not only the physical things, but they learn from us how to love, how to respect, how to be safe and free. Children are like small seedlings -  they need the rain of life and the sunshine of love to grow and become colorful flowers of the life, good humans.
