By nature and from the childhood …

Human beings are born and brought up in such an ambience that they learn to react differently on the same point of contention in different circumstances. In a way, nothing is perfectly right and nothing is absolutely wrong. It is the situation that turns the same thing sometimes right while at another moment wrong.
In the Lesson The Lost Child’ the child is the perfect example of these attributes. While being at the fair, he had demanded so many things to be bought by his parents. When they refused to get him any of these, he had reacted as all those things meant a lot to him.
Once he gets separated from his parents and is found by a kind and noble stranger. He does not want any of these depsite repeated offers by the stranger as if they mean nothing to him now. Now, he is longing for his parents only and nothing else. It clearly reveals that we have dual or an ambiguous attitude to react differently at the same thing in different situations. Our attitude and priorities keep changing from time to time.
