International Children's Day
It's always good to remember our childhood, how innocent, free and griefless we were.
Yet, we all, still have a child inside us, a happier side, that makes us do things that others may consider childish, when thinking with their frozen reason.
The International Children's day is widely celebrated today, June the 1st, and has it's origin in the World Conference for the Wellbeing of Children in Geneva in 1925, dedicated to children, to all children's, no matter what's their skin color, religion or any sort of cultural and social beliefs.
Children we once were and today's children will be the adults of tomorrow, but they are still children!!! So let them be children, don't want them to grow up too fast, there's a right time to everything.
Perhaps, people should spend same time thinking in what indeed means to be a child, what cares does such condition require, how should they be educated. Modern society creates a new stereotype of children, parents don't give them enough attention, because they have no time or will, compensate this by buying their kids lots of things, as a part of a consumerist society that they are.
All over the world there are lots of different children, in different countries, cultures and with different means, yet they all have something in common, they are all children, and that's how they should be looked at.
We mustn't forget those children who live in the so-called third world, today we have an excuse to help them, by donating cash and other means, or directly, if possible.
A great movie that has everything to do with today is "Finding Neverland"

On this day I remembered all the children who are suffering from hunger, negligence and abuse and I cried while I was watching people in the shopping centre buying toys for their children.
