Society & Culture
We often assume that wisdom comes with age.
That the older we get, the more we understand about love, friendship, trust and loneliness.
But after this conversation, we're not so sure.
We sat down with a group of children and asked them questions that many adults still struggle to answer.
Their answers weren't complicated.
Love was caring for someone when they're not okay.
Friendship was honesty, trust and showing up for each other.
Loneliness wasn't being alone. It was feeling unseen, misunderstood or unable to be yourself.
This conversation isn't really about children.
It's about the human experience.
