What happens when we grow up?
Did you know that at birth,the newborn has a body weight which is 5% of the adult weight but a brain weight which is 70% of the adult brain weight. What this means is that as we grow up, the ratio between brain weight to the bosy weight decreases. If we take it as function of the body which is comprehensively controlled by the brain, it sequentially decreases. 


I can prove this. A baby knows that the most important thing in life is to be happy. He will smile except when something upsets him. He knows that all physical actions are useless and conserves his energy by just sleeping most of the day and doing nothing "useful". He is a friend of everybody and trusts all. He also takes the effort to look cute and helpless so that everybody around is forced to take care of him.
As he grows up, first he starts disliking strangers and then becoming irritable for useless things like toys. In the past when he would have been satisfied with being picked up an rocked, now he wants some specific toy or a food article. As we grow up, we become more and more choosy and find hundreds of different things to be unhappy about.

Futher proof is that those newborns who have had brain damage during birth are more irritable and cry more.
In our life, we can strive to be more like babies. Happy for simple reasons and love all.
