Suppose a more powerful country existed. Suppose it attacked us, bombed us, killed and mutilated members of your family, irradiated most of the country, invaded us, stole our country’s treasures and its natural resources, set up a militarily-enforced government with members of its choosing to govern us, closed newspapers, continued to occupy this country with armed soldiers and mercenaries, and continued to kill civilians frequently. How would you feel about those occupying your country?”

And my anwer is:
If my country were ruled by an opressive monarch with absolute power who was murdering my people and mutilating my familly members by the hundreds of thousands, killing civillians far more frequently, and robbing me of any and all opportunity to benifit from his natural resources, and those occupying my country were there to throw him out and replace him with a government in which I have a voice and the chance to participate in the choosing of my leaders and their policies, I'd probably feel like this !
I doubt it...because of course the invaders claim that they are helping, but what is going to be at the forefront of your mind is that your friends and family have been killed by the invaders.LURCH said:And my anwer is:

"Thru the eyes of a child - seeing the truth" is a phrase that describes the act of viewing the world through the perspective of a child. It encourages individuals to see things from a different, more innocent and unbiased point of view.
It is important to see the truth through a child's perspective because children have a unique way of viewing the world without any preconceived notions or biases. This allows us to see things in a new light and gain a deeper understanding of the world around us.
Seeing the truth through a child's eyes can benefit us in many ways. It can help us develop empathy, creativity, and a deeper appreciation for the simple things in life. It can also help us let go of our own biases and see things from a more objective point of view.
While it may be difficult for adults to fully see the world as children do, it is not impossible. By actively trying to shift our perspective and approach situations with a childlike curiosity and openness, we can begin to see things in a new light.
We can incorporate the concept of seeing the truth through a child's eyes into our daily lives by actively seeking out new perspectives and being open to different viewpoints. We can also spend time with children and observe how they interact with the world, allowing us to learn from their innocent and unbiased outlook.
