A kid thinking about fairy tales and believing in fairy tales Acts like a sick god, but like a god. Because even though he affirms that what doesn’t exist exists, He knows things exist, that he exists, He knows existing exists and doesn’t explain itself, And he knows there’s no reason at all for anything to exist. He knows being is the point. All he doesn’t know is that thought isn’t the point.(10/1/1917). Alberto Caeiro
About This Quote

A kid thinking about fairy tales and believing in fairy tales acts like a sick god but like a god because even though he affirms that what doesn't exist exists,he knows things exist, that he exists,he knows existing exists and doesn't explain itself,and he knows there's no reason at all for anything to exist.He knows being is the point.All he doesn't know is that thought isn't the point. This poem by William Butler Yeats expresses the thoughts of a child who has been born into this world and is still fairly innocent. He or she may have been told about the things in the world by parents or teachers, but it is still not something they fully understand. But when they get old enough to see how their actions affect others they begin to wonder if what they have been told is true. They begin to interact with people and discover that most people are just as human as they are.
