 The articles on babies made me feel really content.  My hopeful self has always thought that babies were born "good", or more knowing than we think. I realize that babies don't know everything and need to be taught manners (such as lying in order to not hurt one's feelings) but I always thought the innocence and honesty of babies and young children was so great, and that, actually, adults could learn a lot from them.  I feel like babies are born being true and innocent people, knowing all that is truly important, and it is adults shoving all these rules in their heads that sort of corrupts them.  If a baby could some how grow up without any adult teaching or corrupting them, without anyone limiting or inhibiting their creative possibilities, I wonder how they would turn out. They might explore things we would never think of and reach new conclusions we could never reach. People always think that you have to grow up and have experiences shape you to learn about the world, but I think that you can learn the most from the honesty and innocence of uncorrupted children.
