Out of the blue, Mathew asks me "who rules the world? ...is it god?"
I said "some people think it's god."
Then mathew says "maybe the world rules itself!"
Oh, how I loved to hear that. But I was also so surprised to hear such a profound realization come out of my 5-year old son, so I had to ask him, "where did you hear that from?"
He said, "Nowhere, I just thought of it."
...the conversation continued on about presidents, rulers, kings, and such.
I love having these conversations with him!
P.S. some of you may have heard of this story (on facebook), but I had to add to my blog, after all, this is part of my memory bank

Sadly he's right, the world does rule itself and therein lies the problem.
I don't see it as a problem AT ALL!
sadly, your views are cynical, whereas my 5-year old has the view of an innocent, not yet poisoned human on this plant!
we should all take pointers from the views of a child!
