In Milan Kundera's "The Book of Laughter and Forgetting," the idea that children should "never look back" emphasizes the importance of living in the present and not being burdened by past experiences. This perspective suggests that memories can hinder progress and the promise of the future. Children, who lack a significant past, embody a unique innocence and joy that is often lost in adulthood due to the weight of memories.
This notion highlights a profound truth about human experience: that the innocence found in childhood is closely tied to the freedom from past regrets and experiences. By encouraging a mindset that values the present over memories, Kundera calls for a more liberated approach to life, one that allows for the joyful spontaneity reflected in children's smiles.
Children, never look back! This means we must not let the future be overshadowed by memories.
For children have no past, and that is the whole secret of the magical innocence of their smiles.
