It is said.

We all want to live in the perfect world.

But does such a world exist?

Does the saying.
The grass is greener over the other side.
Hold true?

Sadly.
Some are built to think short term.

They will not understand.
Parents have a reason for withholding their child's true freedom.

And yet.
The child insists.

Never realizing.
That at such a young age.

The grass in not yet green for them over the other side of the field.

Instead.
It remains a barren field.

The truth be spoken.
We all love and hate our parents.

We can never completely love.
Nor completely hate our parents.

But unless we become parents ourselves.
Will we ever understand their reasons for their impose of rules?

I guess.
Sometimes it's better to just let the child experience it for themselves.
The harsh slap that the real world will not hesitate to give to a lagging child.

What does one think?
Is it better to expose a child to the real world early?

Or to hide them behind a veil of stories.

And slowly and bit by bit.
Expose them to the real world at a later time.
