What If Children Ruled the World
I can imagine this from the movie "The Planet of the Apes." In the very beginning it would be great. After that, if children faced trouble, they would learn from history. In that movie, the world is the same as our ancestors' world though they created a world from nothing because they learned from history.
I used to think how great it would be if children controlled the world. The reason why is very simple. I had a lot of things I wanted to have. If I were an emperor, I would never give any country to a child like I used to be.
Actually, I can't imagine what the world would be like if children ruled the world. Children are sometimes cruel and more human than adults. I mean children depend on instincts much more than adults. As children, we pretended to be very nice because we were afraid of parents scolding us. If children had no fear, they would be "Les Enfants Terribles" (Jean Cocteau).
There's one idea that I had about war when I was a kid. While I was watching TV news, I wished every war could disappear. What would I do if I were an emperor? People are now getting used to killing each other, and we don't feel anything when we watch it. So I would order people to stop every war.
If it were impossible, I would order that the military should consist of animals, like pets. People fight wars for many reasons; some times it might be a religious problem, and sometimes it could be a problem about territory. There's no concern for pets. What would people do if pets killed each other? People have humanity, especially for pets; and if there were only pet militaries in the world, war would vanish.
We have to learn from kids that are pure and clean, but we should know kids can be much more cruel than adults. Children need to know how to get along with others before owning the world. We call it education, and adults are after kids who get enough education. I think there would not be a big difference if children ruled the
