Someone said to me last weekend that my friend and I were too childish. Then he preceded to say that we needed to be more like him, implying that he was more “mature”.
That got me thinking: what’s wrong with being childish?
Being childish is of, like, or appropriate to a child. So, is being like a child bad?
Children have a unique point of view. Their innocence is what makes them so amusing and lively. They know how to have fun without the resortments of drugs and alcohol and electronics. Give them a box and they’ll make a rocket ship.
Kids are amazing. I envy their carefree attitudes. I wish I was still that confident and playful.
I don’t think the problem is being childish. I think it's being mature too fast. I don’t understand why people are in such a hurry to grow up and deal with life.
Well, I guess I understand the obvious reasons like independence and having a place on your own. Some things about growing up are great and fun all in their own. But that’s not all growing up is. You have to pay bills and taxes, deal with people and violence, confront your fears, make your own decisions, and do things on your own. Being grown up is like being all alone in a big, crazy world.
When you grow, other people do too. You begin losing family and friends to old age. Your hair goes grey, your bones become brittle, your labito practically disolves, and lets not forget all the health problems like osteoporosis, arthritis, and the thing almost more common than the cold nowadays: cancer, which can happen to anyone at anytime.
It proven that people’s imaginations lower as they get older, too. Where would the world be without rainbows and unicorns buzzing in our brains? Aren’t doing things like playing in the rain, having water fights in the backyard, playing in the woods, having slumber parties, watching cartoons and anime, being sad when Mufasa dies, and making silly mistakes supposed to be childish acts? Can we not do all of those things when we’re older anymore?
Is that how things are now? Being like a little kid is something to be ashamed of?
Getting stuck in the real world doesn’t sound like that much fun to me. Honestly, I’d rather stay a child as long as possible. I want to savor all the fun times I can get and being like a child is fun to me.
I like forgetting all my worries and acting like a kid. Besides, when I’m older I can do what I want, right? So, no one has to the right to tell me to grow up if I don’t want to be every now and then. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSAN172tuS
There is nothing wrong with being small and immature if you know when to be an adult. We have all the time in the world to grow up, so why rush it?
We always need some childish aspects to our lives or else “maturity” will be too draining. As Peter Pan says: never grow up, think of all the joy you’ll find when you leave the world behind and bid your cares goodbye. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaceX23V6fB
