Rythm, there are attributes of children which are universally admirable.
Jesus said you must become as trusting as a child to be able to enter His kingdom.
Little children have not learned to be guileful. They are humble.
To be "Childlike" carries a different connotation than "Childishness".
The former is admired in adults while the latter is scorned.
I was thinking about this thread and my buddy at work came to my mind.
We were considering one of the wise asses there,who we deal with, and Scotty said,
"I think I may be smarter than I actually am, and sometimes find out that I might be.
It is better than thinking one is smart and finding out later that you aren't"
