I’ve increasingly come to believe that sheltering young children from the harsh realities of the world and providing them a safe environment for their formative years is a necessity. They need to be allowed to grow into young people who are intellectually and emotionally prepared to deal with the all the chaos, fear, and violence of the world without being crippled from the start. Early childhood is so crucially important to positive outcomes later in life. They need to be lied to because the truth actively harms their development. The unfiltered deluge of information is toxic. Innocence isn’t just a nebulous concept, it is valuable to growth and increasingly vulnerable. I want every child to grow up with physical safety, financial stability, and a beautiful world. Then when they reach a suitable age they will be better equipped to handled reality without cracking under the immense pressure. I hope I’m communicating this clearly, I’m not advocating for any political side, or “think of the children“ moralizing, nor do I have a practical plan to offer. I’m just depressed with how bad kids have it and how few adults really care.
