24 Things@The Grown-Ups Should Have Told Me@When My Bottom Was Still Blue@

You should have told me,
"The world does not turn round around you."

When I was a little boy and my bottom was green,
I believed that I lived in this world
Because I was chosen to be born.
So, it seemed that the world was turning around me.
It seemed natural that I could live without doing anything.
Just sitting and waiting for something good to happen.
But...
No good things happened, although I had waited and waited.
I was not the center and
How could I long something good might happen without taking action,
When I was not chosen and had no advantage?
Only when one starts to act in seeking for something and finishes it,
The center passes through him just for a moment.
The center is such a thing.
