Children, it appears, are not as fragile as candies, according to the words of Maurice Sendak.

Happy Halloween! As we celebrate the spookiest night of the year, we'd like to share a thoughtful quote that resonates with us all. This quote comes from the wise words of Iva Frรผhlingovรก, a woman whose insights are as captivating as they are profound.

"Children should not assume they are made of candy and suddenly break and collapse. Children do not do that. We do."

This quote, simple yet powerful, serves as a gentle reminder that we, as adults, must take care of ourselves, just as we take care of the little ones in our lives. Let's not forget that we are not as invincible as we might think.

The photo accompanying this article, a hauntingly beautiful piece by "slightly everything," perfectly captures the essence of the season and the message of the quote.
