Children, no matter what we expect, plan, project and wish for in them, their futures are blank pages as far as we are concerned. We are unable to control what they will become, who they were meant to be and the things they are destined to accomplish. Despite our blindness to the theaters of their future, every action we take can affect them in their vulnerability. One would hope and pray that most of us act wisely.

Wisely and with love..
Brilliant photo!
It’s my opinion that in most cases, children’s faces look like blank pages because they haven’t yet ripened and learn to express the complexity of their souls, the depths of their thoughts, personalities, and relationship to the world around them. I do not argue with the question mark you have placed regarding their futures… but I think that when looking at a child’s face, what we see or don’t see isn’t tied to their future, but where they are right now. In some cases, however, one can see a lot about the child by looking into his face. And then too, it has little to do with his future. I like your photography. You have some beautiful pictures here.
I like the gloomy looks in the face of the kid, well captured!!! Cheers Nonoy Manga
Yes, we must not be ambivalent towards children. And we cannot control children, but we do have an impact on them.
So many people underestimate the importance of kids. I love your perspective. Amazing photo, as always
