It's a simple truth that everyone was once a child. We cannot defy the rule of growth with the passage of time. Therefore, anyone looking at a photo of school children returning home can become part of the scene and feel a sense of empathy. This single photo has the power to project a moment from our past selves onto our present selves, offering a brief time travel as the clock hands turn and our consciousness leaps through time.
