Time and again, we run across stories of children and youth showing wisdom beyond their years. Most of them have an innate ability to express compassion and love. As much as we like to think that we are teaching them, more often than not, I find myself learning from their unsullied hearts when it comes to what is essential. Although their lives are no less complex than our own, their ability to remember kindness received or creatively express their own empathy at such a young age is inspiring. It gives me hope in the coming generations. –Guri
