“He who mocks the infant's faith”
— William Blake
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, people make fun of those who have simple or strong beliefs, just like how an infant trusts the world around them. Laughing at someone’s trust or belief, especially when it's pure and innocent, can be hurtful and unfair. Imagine a child who believes in Santa Claus; their belief brings them joy and excitement. Mocking this belief could make the child feel sad or confused, taking away some of their happiness and innocence. Adults, too, may have simple beliefs that help them feel better or give them hope. Instead of making fun of these beliefs, we should try to understand and respect them. For example, someone may believe that everything will work out in the end, helping them stay positive through hard times. Embracing their belief, rather than mocking it, can make us more compassionate and supportive.
