- Mithaldu 9y agoI found that many adults have sadly forgotten how to ask "Why?" and instead get set in whatever their mind decided is the reason for something being the objectively true reason. Encouraging children to ask why is not only the most kind thing you can do for them, but also the rest of the world.
