Children like bright shiny things that have movement and are new.
There is nothing wrong with that. Everything is new to them.
They do not have experience and learning to draw on
when making choices and decisions. As adults we do.
We are to be innocent as children when it comes to evil,
but, in our thinking we are to be mature adults;
considering the validity of the information and the integrity of the source
before we come to conclusions about what we see, hear, and read.
Do you ponder the things you learn before you accept them as true?
Blessings this day of grace,

as mature person with simple way if thinking, if the situation is complicated, no need t ponder. Life is simple. Good question, Patricia. Thank you.
I am a ponderer. And at the same time I pretty much take what comes without too much bother. Simple really does make for a good life.
