1) The speaker learned that heaven and hell could not be located geographically. That these were profound philosophical concepts and not real places that one could pinpoint on any map. 

2) Adults talked of love and preached about it but they did not act lovingly. This is the moment of realization, the speaker begins to understand that adults are hypocritical and do not practice what they preach to children. They do not refrain from harming others.

3) Childhood is extremely crucial to the process of growing up and realization of the self but it cannot be an interminable process because it is just part of a process. Childhood is a stage in the process of growing up.
