Why childhood is better than adulthood?

Every child wants to be an adult, and every adult wants to return to childhood. Adulthood looks like the grass is greener, but it has so many trials and tribulations it is hard to keep count. This is not meant to dismiss the obstacles to overcome during childhood, but this stage of life does seem simpler. Childhood is better than adulthood for numerous reasons, even though most children will disagree. In childhood, life is more enjoyable, it is easier to gain new knowledge, and there is less responsibility. 

ENJOYMENT

In childhood, life was full of possibilities. All we thought about was the next fun thing to do. On some level, this got us in trouble, but overall it made life enjoyable. We were willing to try new things and not stress over potential consequences. We had time to play, and it was considered a good thing to use our imagination. Some of us were lucky enough to be treated like princes and princesses by our parents and family members, and they thought anything we did was adorable or genius. We were innocent in our childhood, and we saw the world for all its greatness instead of its misery. 

KNOWLEDGE

We were so eager to learn new things in our childhood. Even though we complained about going to school, we liked much of what we learned, and it was so much easier to understand new information. Our palate for adventure and passion was still fresh, and anything we did could spark a new interest. These interests lead to goals and dreams, which we believed all were accomplishable no matter what. We thought the sky was the limit in our childhood, but we still reached for outer space. 

RESPONSIBILITY 

Responsibility was barely in our vocabulary throughout our childhood. That was something our parents had to deal with when it came to taking care of us. We did not have all the worries of necessities, finances, bills, and all the dangers in the world. Childhood was about freedom. Everyone was treated equally, and it was okay for everyone to be friends. 

In adulthood, our innocence, passion, and perception of freedom are knocked out of us. We become tied down with consequences, unattainable goals, and unrealistic responsibility. Life is what we make it, but childhood was easier to make about happiness.
