A person who has not lost a child's heart

 A person who has not lost a child's heart


As people grow up, they learn a lot and gain experience.


As knowledge accumulates and wisdom increases, one becomes an adult.


But to become a true adult, there is a heart that must be possessed. It is the pure heart of a child.



"A great man is a person who has not lost the heart of a child." - Mencius



The child's heart is in the state of keeping the good nature it has received from heaven. It is a pure heart that is not stained by greed or profit and has its good nature preserved.


​

Also, the child's heart is humble.


He doesn't boast of knowledge or status, and he doesn't look down on others with it. I do not criticize others recklessly, nor do I use others for my own gain. It is the heart of a child that can treat people as genuine people.


If you exalt yourself because you are old, have a lot of status or wealth, or have worldly honour, and treat people badly, you cannot be called a true adult.


A true adult is a person who is not swayed by life experiences and years.
