Growing Up
The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows. (Sydney J. Harris, 20th century American journalist)
It takes awhile for a child to realize that he or she is not the center of the world. After all, the little boy or girl has been given so much attention it’s no wonder they see others as a way to make them happy. There is only one image in their mirror, but when they begin to see others, as if through a window, life expands to include the rest of the world.
When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. (1 Corinthians 13:11)
