Sometimes when I watch some of these talent shows that have really brilliant kids performing, it can be a somewhat heartbreaking experience.

Some of these kids have made really good friends with one another, and when one of them wins, he weeps because his winning means his friends losing.

Kids know what it's all about in life. They know that winning loses its meaning when it comes about at the expense of relationships. They understand that such winning means nobody wins, and everybody loses. They're nothing like grownups.

Kids are so real. In their purest form, they can't handle competition. Because they know it means excluding others, and they're by nature inclusive people.

The grownups need to grow up.
