Childhood. My childhood beliefs.
Child, this is a compilation of "why", "why", "what" and so on. We know very well how many questions a child can ask about a subject, and how often it stops us with answers. At the same time, these questions and answers form our child's perception of what is happening around us, about what happens in nature.
Often, however, children form their own views based on their observations, impressions, fantasies. Each of us, in our childhood, has formed our own beliefs, defending them among our peers by playing in the sandbox, arguing and trying to prove the "truth". Since I was often forced to stay home alone during my childhood, I had a lot of time to develop my own specific views. Here are some of my childhood views. The ones from pre-school, the ones I had invented for some reason, the ones I remember today. There was probably more. And so....
Why does the earth rotate?
When I was little, I heard the earth turning. And, of course, my little mind was contemplated - if the earth turns, who or what turns it? Thinking until I figure it out. The ground is cut by people walking. And if it could be said that all people would stop, then the earth would definitely stop. That's the view
How does the wind come about?
Again, this was a guilty person in my child's mind. Because man breathes. And when you exhale, the wind blows. And multiplying it by all people is the result of the wind. Interestingly, hardly guilty of storms coming out of such logic. I don't remember that from childhood.
Clouds and rain.
In my childhood, I thought clouds came from smoke. White smoke produces white cumulus clouds and black smoke produces rain (snow) clouds. That's why it rains so often in the autumn when it gets cold and the stoves are fired (we had a furnace heating at home). Opposite the house we had some production facility, but behind it was the railway, which in my childhood was still driven by steam locomotives. They were good, because mostly white smoke (steam) came from their chimneys. On the other hand, the production facility was bad because of its thick black smoke coming from its chimneys. Could he have become an ecologist under other circumstances?
Virtual friend.
In my childhood there was neither internet nor computers ... TV was only a few hours in the evening. So I was forced to play with myself, and it worked out the imagination pretty well. As a result of this imagination, I had made a "virtual" imaginary friend of mine who was called just like me. What we didn't do together ... But the greatest friendship started when we had to go to bed. Sleep did not always come, so in our minds, imaginative adventures were created that not all computer games are capable of at the moment. We flew, swam, traveled to other planets ... But once we quarreled and didn't talk for days ... Is this kind of virtual friendship now possible?
When should the car change gears?
Like any guy, I was very interested in technique and machinery. Whenever I had a chance to watch everything in the cab, the driver drives the transport. And when someone asked me, '' Do you have wallets to ride? ', I always proudly replied,' 'Of course!' '. I was once asked, '' if you ever know how to drive, when should the car change gears? ''. Thinking for a moment, I replied, '' Well, when the engine roars loudest ... ''. And I couldn't understand what's so funny about my answer ...
Certainly, there were other views, life's insights. These are the brightest from childhood. I would like to remind you that all these ideas and beliefs were formed during the pre-school age - three to six years.
Maybe you also have such memories. You can write in the comment. At the moment, it may seem ridiculous to myself, but I think these are some of the warmest memories I really need not be ashamed of.
And of course thank you
to all who read and a big thank you to those who supported.
