What is a Child?

A child is a "blank slate." Though children are born with instincts, the way they view the world, the way they view people, the way they view life is left to be determined by experience. Children are born without judgement or preconceived notions. A very young child is optimism, naive to the reality of life. A child is a person who can think anything. A child is as close to innocence as any human can get. I think it is experience that differentiates children and adults. The more experience a child has the more adult he or she becomes.
