Adults

June 23, 2008

So in the last few weeks i have noticed more and more the similaritys between children and adults, i know for a fact that as a child i always thought of adults as being superior and well more mature than myself, after asking a few other people i was soon quite well informed that as far as children go that is almost always the case, so my question i would like to pose, not that anyone will reply most likely, thanks ben <3, is this. Are adults just large children and are we as children given a false impression, or are adults changing with the times, like the stay at home kids who are living at home untill they are 30 or older, a few things that to me suggest the first is that as a young adult just moving in to the grown up work force, i am working with alot of ‘adults’ who are indeed my own parents age or even older, and yet they seem subject to everthing a child may also be, fiddling with gadgets, spreading rumors and just outright gossiping, taking a long time to grasp any ideas, some so simple it could make you yell, the way i see it it seems to me all adults are just big children, just as immature and, equally as mean spiteful and candy grabbing jealous. So this brings me to my second argument, is it really childish behaviour vs. mature adult behavior or is it human nature with the only difference being experience, this is the alternative i have been given to consider by my beautiful ever devils~advocate girlfriend lol, i suppose it makes sense to a certain degree all of the behaviours i have thought of for adults being the same as children all do seem to be basic instincs however you would think that the experience would teach us to be either better or to handle emotions in a mature manner, not to go spreading rumors around the office surely isnt such a hard concept. So in conclution, what makes an adult is experience but what makes a mature human being is control and a little empathy.

Now for the fun part i just made a bet with someone i am working with, so they just bought worms for their compost heap now the bet is that the spiders that have already settled in to the heap will either be eaten or run out by the worms, i however am of the belif that they will live harmoniously, bets anyone? ok so it wasnt super fun but its only my second blog so gimmie time!

love always SirMattus the FANTABULASxD

    ;D nice start!

    Annyywaays, I think it’s just natural human behavior for a lot of adults to act like that. Same goes for children too; in fact, it’s the same for all ages if not most. You always see it on TV, and people gossip or w/e in high school. It’s like, monkey see-monkey do. If that made any sense. o.o I also believe that the other parts of behavior that you mentioned is natural too. Sure we can grow up a bit, but bad habits die hard. (gossiping, being greedy and spiteful etc.) =/ It’s just rare to find decent people.

    o_o I hope a lot of that made sense.

    How about this for a concept… while the body changes and ages, the consciousness is still the same consciousness that existed at age 5, 10, 20…. all that’s changed is the experiences which have added (hopefully) understanding and wisdom. But the child is still there, shadowed by the mental consequences of experience.

    That’s my excuse for playing games and with gadgets at age 41! :D
