you are completely mistaken: this person claims to know exactly how babies think and how they feel:
Obviously, I assume he is taking this from his own memories of being a baby.
If he is not taking his assumptions from his own memory of how he felt when he was a baby: then his assumptions of how a baby feels or what it thinks are complete conjecture... like me assuming to know what you think or feel. I do not have your memories or your mind: so I cannot tell other people what you think or feel.
Also:
All of you are into forgetting the past.
None of you want to remember what it was like when you were 10, or 7, or 4...
You were a completely different person then from what you are now.
Can you remember what you wer elike and how you felt when you were a child? If you can: you will find that what you felt and what you thought was NOT the same as what you feel and think today.
This poster assumes that babies think and feel exactly like he thinks and feels now.
Unless he can remember how he felt as a baby: that assumption is bogus.
Unless he responds to my question: his post about babies is not worth including in the discussion.
Do you understand? To argue something honestly: you have to argue from personal experience. If you have no personal memory of being a baby: you have no right to tell other people what they think or feel.
Nor have you any right to tell other people how they feel.
Nor have you any right to tell anyone that babies can think about anything: they can't. Their brains are not developed enough to have abstract thoughts. Which is another reason this person's claim is completely bogus. Babies cannot know what greed is because they do not have any language to teach them that abstract concept.
Unless you are a baby: you cannot say what babies actually want.
Unless you are a ten year-old: you cannot say what a ten-year-old wants or needs.
Unless you cen remember how you felt when you were ten: you cannot assume you know what any ten year-old wnats or needs.
Why do you think adults don't understand you?
Because they are not the same age as you are.
Why do you think you cannot understand adults?
Because you are not the same age they are.
Each age has unique qualities and characteristics. Each developmental stage of your life changes how you feel and think. You brain does not stop growing until you are almost finished adolescence. Every stage of your brain growth is different. Especially a baby's.
Do you understand?
