Crying Kids and Crownless Kings
May 9th 2006 01:00
"Nothing that grieves us can be called little: by the eternal laws of proportion a child's loss of a doll and a king's loss of a crown are events of the same size.” – Mark Twain
That’s a good point to consider. Although, a child’s relationship to a doll is one of love, companionship and a true feeling of real social interactions. On the other hand, a King treats his crown as a shiny expensive hat which symbolises his power and nobility. If he did happen to misplace it, it would be possible to obtain another one which could be even shinier and more beautiful than before.
But the essence of the above quote still applies. You can just picture a child’s screwed up red face and eyes welling with tears, who runs up to you, pulling on your shirt crying to ask of the doll's whereabouts, hoping that you’ll miraculously bring it in to view. It would be a heavy loss to bear on the child’s part.
