Children are people, and they should have to reach to learn about things, to understand
things, just as adults have to reach if they want to grow in mental stature. Life is composed
of lights and shadows, and we would be untruthful, insincere, and saccharine if we tried to
pretend there were no shadows. Most things are good, and they are the strongest things;
but there are evil things too, and you are not doing a child a favor by trying to shield him
from reality. The important thing is to teach a child that good can always triumph over evil.
Walt Disney
