She has not learned labels or divisions yet.

She has not learned labels or divisions yet.
She does not see race, status, borders, or differences.
She sees faces, laughter, gentle hands, and warmth.

To her, the world is simple — it is made of people who can love.
Every child enters life with an open heart, unguarded and curious.
Fear is not born with us.
Hate is not instinct.
Those things are taught, slowly, through words, actions, and silence.

Kindness, however, is a choice — one we can make again and again.
It is choosing to listen instead of judge.
To understand instead of divide.
To see another human before seeing a label.
If innocence can exist so naturally in a child, then empathy can exist in us too.
Our responsibility is not to harden the world for them, but to soften ourselves.
To protect that purity a little longer.
And to choose compassion — every single day, even when it is difficult.
