The main differences between childhood and adult life.

Have you ever thought, that would be fun to live life over again, from scratch, but with all the already accumulated wisdom and experience? To know what decisions to make, to understand what really lies behind one or the other option, you might have more determination and courage to make changes that are delayed. I understand that many people with a huge nostalgic look to their childhood years and the time spent in school. Even all the troubles with teachers, conflicts with parents and failed youth’ loves pales against the joy of youth. If you are still in school, enjoy this time! But what is the joy of the youth?

First of all, children have a huge amount of leisure time! Even if the tasks of homework exceed your capabilities, it will never equal the amount of work that you will have when been 30 years. It was nice to laze, is not it?

It’s a lot of dreams! It seems you can become a dentist, and banker, and TV star just so, in your dreams. Hang over the bed John Lennon poster and already see yourself singing on stage! It’s a lot of first time! For some people first times raise the beautiful, positive emotions. After all, this is the joy of discovery, fun time. And finally, this is carelessness! It is fun not to think about the future, because it seems that parents will take care of everything.

And why ever it seems that we want something to fix in the childhood? Why do many want to go back and correct the mistakes made in the past? Why do we live life too far from the childhood, although we idealize this time? What the transformation happens along the way from the child into the adult world, taking away the joy of life?

First of all, it is caring. Now we are already those who have to take care both about ourselves and also about others. This obliges. It depressed those who do not like responsibility.

Second, these first times now they cause the joy not for all of us. Often, this is merely another source of stress. If possible we get rid of them and become all well knowing and experienced adults.

Third – it is the lack of dreams. An adult human being has a purpose, because it is not serious to dream. It teaches many serious books.

And in the end, there is almost no leisure time. Although we like become responsible for ourselves, but for one reason or another, our time and results of work we give to others.

What could a child learn from adults as to prevent the gray everyday’s swamp of transformation? To become an anxious and frowning? And lose the possibility of to feel free to experiment, to make mistakes and grow? Refuse to dream and get up goals and pursue them with big determination? Reject the freedom of creativity and suppress yourself into the schemes?

To reject the first times and choose only what is tested? And to close your life in a narrow and limited tunnel since a young age?

But one thing is clear – processes of growth and development are taking place throughout life.
