In the book "Varina" by Charles Frazier, the author reflects on the perspective of children regarding their lives. Children perceive their environment and experiences as normal, shaped by their daily realities. Because they lack the context or experience to judge their circumstances critically, their understanding remains unclouded by external opinions or comparisons.
As they grow older, however, judgment begins to emerge. This shift in perception can lead to a more complex understanding of their lives, influenced by societal norms and comparisons with others. Frazier highlights the innocence of childhood, emphasizing that true judgment comes only later in life as experiences and awareness expand.
