Before I answer you, I ask you:
Have you tried being as smart as him, that little guy you're making fun of?
Do you have an idea of his weapons, the ones that never rust?
Did I follow his behavior the day I got into trouble like he did to escape from his predicament?
Have you thought about following his example in this world, or do you think that you are sane not to do so?
When a person falls into a dilemma, he has two ways: either crying over what has befallen him, complaining day and night, cursing luck, blaming family, friends, relatives, and the surrounding community, and disavowing any responsibility, or he resolves to face the matter.

I do not think that any of us has missed the American comedy movie "Home Alone", which was produced in 1990, and it has become an annual tradition to be shown at the end of the year holidays.
In this movie, we enjoyed the comic paradoxes of a large family who forgot their little one and set out on a Christmas trip, only to find out later when they were thousands of miles away.
The child wakes up in his house to this surprise, to decide to overcome what the adults have done to him alone.
I watched the movie over and over again, and enjoyed it like the others, but there was a question that preoccupied me: Can any other child really do what this child did, regardless of the various details, and the exaggerations of the director that the cinematic work bears!
Is it normal behavior for a child?

When a person is in trouble, he has two ways: either crying over what has befallen him, complaining day and night, cursing luck, blaming family, friends, relatives and the surrounding community, and evading any responsibility;
Or he is determined to face it.
And that's what our baby hero did!
He decided to face the situation, to challenge the reality in which he was embroiled, determined to get out of his predicament.
You can use all the vocabulary of “will”, as it is the key to all closed doors, and you have to know what that means:
Be ready to step out of your comfort zone.
Be prepared to change your lifestyle.
Your dream is your provision that makes you bear all these sacrifices.
Our child dreamed of surviving, that the family would come back one day to save him and find him well. He withstood his crisis and got through it. Now he has become another person, more mature, different from his peers, confident in himself, and in his ability to overcome the crises of life.
Did the child really think about all this?
Perhaps not like this, perhaps not as eloquently, but his “good” instinct guided him automatically, as we lose a lot when our instinct is corrupted, or something is polluted.
Instinct itself is what drives him to stubbornness, to try something and fail at it, so he does not despair, but tries once, and once, and once, with beautiful patience and high spirits.

It is true that it is just a movie, and the director can make whatever he wants in his movie, but it is not far from reality, and the child’s weapons are no different, no matter how his circumstances change.
Will, dream, stubbornness, and patience.
Whether he's looking for survival, a piece of candy, a new bike, or a picnic somewhere.
Watch the children, you will find that these are their weapons, and that despite their weakness, they win.
"Home Alone" is not the only movie that revolves around a child. There are many films starring children, such as "Empire of the Sun", in which an English boy tries to survive under the Japanese occupation in World War II, or the movie (Wonder), which was produced in 2017, about an eleven-year-old boy with a deformed face and his courage in facing circumstances and the treatment of people around him. It is considered one of the most beautiful children's roles that we all sympathized with.

In the wars of the world, we need the spirit of children to overcome what we are facing. It is not only important that we cross the crisis, but that we emerge from it psychologically healthy, without psychological impairments, and without lingering wounds. Therefore, we need light souls, who fight without frowning, struggling in this world. With a smile, believing that what is happening to us is only by the will of God and with His knowledge, the Almighty, and that we do not grow weary of His destiny, and that the Almighty watches us, He looks and He knows best, are we satisfied with His decree, are we surrendering to His will, are we trusting in Him, are we confident that He will answer our prayers According to what he sees is good for us, Glory be to Him.

Perhaps it is funny, but it is nice not to carry - like children - the concern of livelihood, so you only have to strive.
the sight of children playing happily together;
Their white, their brown, and their yellow teaches us not to be racist, to accept the other, whatever his color or belief.
If they get angry, they reconcile quickly;
The breasts do not bear this grudge with which adults are tormented. The same scene teaches us to be social, open to others and without fear.
These little ones teach us: to enjoy the moment, to live life, to yearn for knowledge, to ask about everything and learn everything, to go through adventures and experiences without delving into calculations and complications, not to grieve and consider it the end of life when we fall as they fall from a tree, or from Rather, they consider their “misfortune” a reason for joy, despite the pain that befell them. It is true that they may cry a little, for feelings of sadness and pain are natural, but they quickly cross them, and proceed on their path, as they consider that scars are badges of honor.

Let us wake up like children, consider each day a new day, having forgotten what happened to us yesterday, dream again, be brave, try new things, and express ourselves. So many stones make him weak and make him fall, and make us happy!
