Vedanta of Renunciation of Adulthood to Childhood!

[Guest guest]

Namaste:

 

I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have

decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year-old

again.

 

I want to go to a fastfood place and think that it's a four star

restaurant.

 

I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk

with rocks.

 

I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them.

 

I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my

friends on a hotsummer's day.

 

I want to return to a time when life was simple, when all you knew

were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes,but that

didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and

you didn't care. All you knew was to be happy because you were

blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or

upset.

 

I want to think the world is fair.

That everyone is honest and good.

I want to believe that anything is possible.

I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly

excited by the little things again.

I want to live simple again.

 

I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of

paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month

than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness, and

loss of loved ones.

 

I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth,

justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels

in the snow.

 

So... here's my checkbook and my car keys, my credit card bills and

my 401K statements. I am officially renouncing my adulthood.

 

And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me

first, cause........

 

......"Tag! You're it."

 

regards,

Source: A thoughtful email from my friend - it is indeed a chain

email and its purpose is to get rid of barriers of adulthood!

 

Moral: Life is simple to those with a pure mind, that of a child. We

can liberate ourselves simpley by switching our adulthood attitude to

childhood attitude! Is it that simple?
