more free?

So, maybe freedom is like being a kid? But we must clarify. Like being a well-loved and cared for kid. Before school. In diapers.



When we are in that 2-3 year old range, we can talk, we can walk. When we are in diapers we can poop when we like, where we like. We get fed when we are hungry. We can spill our food and its 'cute'. The biggest stress we face is the possibility of the existence of the boogie-man.

Everything is exciting when we are 2 and 3 years old. All manner of stuff is brand new. We aren't subjected to a whole lot of advertising. (although we do get some)
We are relatively innocent, thinking the best of people in most cases. We trust everyone. We are selfish. We cry whenever we want to, and don't worry about what people think of us. We aren't afraid to show dependence.

Funny I didn't think of this when I was 3. 'Twas a good life. I must have missed it, cuz I don't remember it. (well, other than the traumatic event when I was forced to hold SuzieQ's hand....and that didn't feel like freedom to me)

Maybe more tomorrow.
