The Half Human

It's customary in most places for children to be granted or charged less than adults for the very same thing, be it reward or punishment, children receive only a half. It may seem as a fair way and I don't disagree. But this idea of children receiving only half has enlightened me to think about something, are children half human?

Odd question? Well yes if course. But what if I tell you that from what I understand it's very true. Innocent young souls, not very little but not even quite like their adults. They may physically resemble the adults, their senses and desires may match too, but psychologically they're quite different from the grown up version of humans, more specifically today's humans.

Hate, xenophobia, racism, bigotry, selfishness, warmongers, heartless and criminals are just some of the words that don't have any place in their hearts till now. They have not adapted any of such qualities or become like any of these persons.They aren't influenced by the superiority complex, they don't practice discrimination. For an average human of today, such a thing is unlikely. It is unlikely for someone to not possess even form of evil. If one doesn't, then they most likely are the silent observers, who're even worse than the evil ones, because they see evil, they recognize it as wrong and yet they take no positive action against it.

Children can be described as naughty, they can do something wrong but only out of innocence, unlike their adults who do all this intentionally. Children are pure souls, the souls we adults educate to support evil. No child is born a xenophobe, a criminal, a hater, a racist...we make them so. We educate them to become a complete human, according to our definition a person who is bound to practice or support at least one form of evil.
