          an infant’s innocent   face.                                 are irrevocably lost.









        Curious  to know when he lost his                           He figures out the adults around him

        childhood.                                                  did not practice what they usually
                                                                    preached.
        Perhaps that day when he

        discovered the theories of                                  Taught others  to be loving and
        HEAVEN and HELL                                             caring when they themselves   were

        he acquired rational thinking                               Realizes   that  the loss of faith and

        towards his   surrounding                                   trust is the major step towards
                                                                    losing his childhood.
