Our life is perfect!

红鹿

My seven-year old son Nathan suddenly asked me a question the other day, "Mom, why are you working so hard?"

I answered immediately without thinking, "Because I want us to have a better life."

Nathan said, "But our life is already perfect."

Nathan's remark made me thinking, "If only I could look at the world as how the kids do, I would be much happier."

Although adults take lots of responsibilities which might be burdens of their lives, the perpective of the child is still informing.
