RE: THE ART OF HONEST SWINDLING.
I can verify what you say about children. Adults often demand details about events from them or try to find out the reason for something they interpret as a lie. But a child of five or six years of age, for example, has a different view of things. If you ask too much for a "why", children often say what the adult expects them to say unspokenly. Because they often do not know why they did or did not do something and think much less about a "why".
I agree, it can be hard not no mix fiction with facts.
Interesting that you thought about thinking and eternity when you were such a young age. Car drives are seemingly particularly promoting those kinds of reflections :) I have no specific memories from that age.
I thought about thinking as a kid. You say you didn't. And that is the beauty in the diversity of people. Meaning, people are different. Now, people talk about equality. And that is fine if we are talking the equality of rights, opportunities, etc, perhaps. But some people try too hard to force all children to be identical to each other and that can be problematic. People can learn in different ways, at different speeds. So, teachers should try to customize educational curriculum to best fit the uniqueness of individual students as they go down specific paths. In other words, vocational training.
