“How is it possible not to feel his inner beauty, so akin to the spiritual beauty which the child reveals? The child’s power is our power.”
— Maria Montessori
Simplified Meaning:
Children have a special kind of beauty that isn't just about how they look. It's something deeper, something pure and simple, like the feeling you get when you see a child being kind or smiling. This kind of beauty is called spiritual beauty, and it's something we all have inside us. Think about a time when a child shared their toy with another kid without being asked. That kindness and innocence come from a place of genuine goodness and love. As adults, we often forget we have this same goodness inside us because we're busy or stressed. But if we remember to look inside and find that kindness and simplicity, we can bring it out in our lives. For example, helping a stranger without expecting anything in return or simply smiling more often can show this inner beauty. Children remind us that we have this power of kindness and genuine love, and we can use it to make the world a better place.
