(Translated text: Spanish-English) Childhood || A memory of when one was living through the present.
Childhood: there is no past or future.
"(...) No one will know his today. Not even himself. As for me, I look and it is useless: I can not understand something that is only current, totally current..."
Clarice Lispector. "Child drawn to pen". Candestine Happiness
Childhood as that process of recognition during which the child, or rather, the human being, begins to be aware of the things that surround him; however, it is enough to believe that they know things as they are by how they are taught, the dog is not a dog, it is << woof, woof>> and the tree is the drawing that he is taught to do, however, they do not know him in this way because of a "first time" question, but as a matter of memory, of something that has been seen this way several times, as Cesare Pavese in his essay "From myth, from symbol and other things ":" (...) it is confirmed that things are discovered, baptized, only through the memories that they have, since, strictly speaking, there is no "seeing things for the first time" ": the important thing is always a second." Even so, it will continue to depend on how those memories are "implanted".
House is the drawing, not the structure. Tree drawing, not what is plant and flower drawing, not what comes out of the earth. That's how the child's logic begins.
On the other hand, part of the idea of childhood to live always in the present, is in the capacity of not to think about the "why" of things (until certain age clear this, although at that time childhood already begins to fade), giving as example, the castles are the castle that has been seen for the first time, it will not matter if there are castles with different shapes and colors, it only matter that all the castles that can exist are going to "abstain" from appearing.
The world of childhood is one where everything is possible, in every conceivable way. The idea of the dreams is given by a song and the idea of the adventures thanks to the first books that the grandparents and the parents read, no matter how extravagant they can be those ideas that arise there. Childhood presents unknowns and infinite possibilities.

Then, in simpler and summarized words, the world of childhood is that, where there is no notion of the past or the future, therefore, the infant's ideas move through the present. Childhood is the stage where you can be "King of the World", where you have no full idea of the rules of society. In short, it is the stage of the human being where it is freer than ever, until it reaches the appropriate age (from the same childhood) where it has to, for obligation with the society, to begin to have concienca of its consciencia.
