She could sense the fear and anxiety of babies and younger children upon meeting her for the first time; their wide eyed stares, fidgeting, and outright tantrums. Blaring like little homing beacons, they knew that Mallory wore a disguise to cover her wounds, and that they probably weren't safe. They were so very innocent and unblemished from the world, and saw straight through to her heart.  It was the real reason she preferred not to be in their company or head a classroom full of tiny ones, though she often told those who questioned her preference for teaching teenagers that she didn't like small children.  Children hated pain. It was rare that they wouldn't shy away from an adult whose heart was laden with it. . Coco Mingolelli
About This Quote

People feel differently about the world, and the people in it, depending on how much they love them. How much you love someone can be seen in the way you act around them. Little children are very sensitive to this, and their reactions tell you how they feel about others. When someone is scared or saddened by what is happening to them, they may cry out to God for help.

When someone is happy, they smile and laugh. This is because being happy does not take away from being sad or afraid. It is okay to have two emotions at the same time, but it's equally important not to let one color your entire world view.
