“Mark this: Unless you accept God's kingdom
in the simplicity of a child, you'll never get in."
Luke 18:17

“Great peace is found in little busy-ness.”

[Geoffrey Chaucer]
 
I'm not sure how to interpret your statement.
Do we accept sin, injustice, violence, abuse, etc. "as it is"?
I feel confident your intent was the opposite.
Concepts of sin, injustice, violence, abuse, are not inherent in the simplicity of a child. They are mostly operating from what they know is true from their innermost being, the living soul.

My use of the word 'accept' is in error. Sorry about that.
Perhaps I should have said: 'Let everything be as it is'. Then we may not accept everything as it is, but okay with it all. It is our not okayness which manifests into sin, injustice, violence, abuse, etc. (all fear-based responses generated from our false-self).
