I agree to Nathan.
In addition to what he says about forgetfulness of children, which helps
them reinvent themselves, they also lack the preconceived notion/definition
of most of the things. And hence they seldom feel like sticking to things
and make  thing temporary in such way as to 'really' live in present.

Subject:  RE: Of the Three Metamorphoses


Basically the child is innocent not by being pure (for no one and no thing
is
pure) but because the child forgets.  Think about little kids when they
have
fights and each says "I'm never playing with you again" -- in about 15
minutes
they're playing again.  When their parents get into a fight, though, and
say
"I'm never going to speak to you again", they never speak to each other
again.
 The parents are sunk in ressentiment; the innocent forgetting of the child
is
a path to overcoming.

Nathan
