A Return to Innocence

We often think wisdom comes with age, but this isn’t always the case. There are many of us who make the same mistakes over and over and over again until days, months or decades later, we realize we’ve been barking up the wrong tree the whole time. On the other hand, there are some who are wise beyond their years. Case in point, these children, all under age ten, who were interviewed for their opinions on dating and marriage. If only we had been so wise so young. Enjoy the beauty of youth.
