"يتحرك الكبار لأن إرادتهم توجههم. يتم دفع الطفل الصغير بقوة الحياة التي تعبر عن نفسها تلقائيًا من خلاله."

Simplified Meaning:

Adults often make decisions based on careful thought and their wishes, whereas young children are driven more by their natural energy and instincts. For instance, if a person decides to move to another city for a job, this choice is guided by their goals and planning. On the other hand, a toddler might run around a park simply because they feel the energy and joy of being outside, not because they thought about it. This idea shows that adults tend to act with intention and purpose, while children are led by curiosity and the excitement of life. By observing children, adults can remember the importance of spontaneity and enjoying the moment. This can encourage grown-ups to allow themselves to sometimes act on what feels good naturally, rather than always following strict plans.
