Through a baby's eyes..

As I was playing with my 11-month old son, I realized the purity of a baby's heart. Babies do not look at your appearance, caste, color, sex, race or social status. They treat everyone the same. They communicate with everyone on equal terms. This got me thinking - what if each one of us behaved the same way ? Would'nt that solve most of the issues that abound this world ? Religion, race and color contribute to most of the burning(literally and otherwise) issues in this world.

Think about it..if God intended to divide people on the above basis, he would have made babies differentiate people in similar manner. But no, thats not the case. As babies, we are pure at heart. Its only when we grow up that these feelings of differentiation creep in. I wish everyone could go back to being babies in this regard...that would make for a very beautiful world !!
