While the origin of 'starchildren' is quite admittedly debatable, there is a definite case to be made for children with an unusually keen aptitude
in certain areas. Essentially, there is a line drawn at the point where a child is simply talented and where a child is simply miraculous. Many people
will be skeptical due to upbringing and the various lessons given throughout our science classes...but the truth is this: how can we be sure? We
can't. All we know is we have quite a few highly gifted and intelligent youngsters who continue to display an absurd degree of wisdom and talent
throughout their childhood, and on into adulthood. Rather than balking at the idea of starchildren, it is better to admit they exist (regardless of
origin) and find out what they have to show us. I personally have come into contact with a starchild, and have been told I might be one myself. I
would go so far as to say that I am quite a bit more wise than one of my years should be. I am not arrogant, nor assuming; I simply acknowledge the
possibility. Whatever you may say, there are strange cases of over-bright children with unusual histories and tragic endings. Suspend your disbelief
in a world of assumptions and arrogance, and take a deeper look. That's all I have to say.
