The Innocent Connection.......

                   Many people have always wondered why Michael Jackson enjoyed being around children so much. He would always say that he saw the face of God in children, he loves their level of innocence and that they inspire him. I mean When you think about it, there aren't really many adults with the same level of innocence that children have; so I think that made it harder for Michael to connect with adults the way he could with children. I wonder if maybe he was so drawn to their innocence because it was so much like his own. For example, I'm a pretty cheerful, friendly person and I enjoy being around people that are the same. When I do meet people who are cheerful and friendly, I become drawn to them and I want to be around them because they are not intimidating and they make me feel comfortable and happy. Children had the same energy and innocence that Michael had. I don't even know if he was aware of it, but I really think that is a huge reason why he was able to feel so comfortable and happy around them. Children didn't want anything from him but to be his friend and Michael didn't want anything from them but to be their friend.
               With children you don't have to worry about impressing them, saying all the right things or worry about the troubles in your life; you can just be yourself. Michael was one of the rare few that had that same level of innocence. There are a lot of adults that dont value children's existence the way that Michael did. I think that was a big reason why Michael was so misunderstood. I think if more people took the time to connect with their own innocence and surround themselves with innocent children, there would probably be less corruption and distrust in the world. If nothing else they would probably be more creative. I notice that people are most creative when they are children due to the fact that they are not afraid to push boundaries and dream the impossible. As we get older we get more practical and held down by what society says we should be. I think that is why Michael is the best at what he did; he was able to keep the imagination and dreams he had as a child and turn them into a reality.He really was a magical person because he was able to keep what so many other people lose. He kept his innocence.
For all of the non-MJ fans, I hope that this helps you to understand a little better why he cared so much for children and wanted to be around them. For all of the Fans thank you for understanding Michael's inner spirit.
