This I believe

I believe that we shouldn't take life so seriously. Since adolescence, this idea of "growing up" is pushed down our throats and we are taught that life isn't a game and that we all need to mature. Well fuck that. The only reason we have to grow up and take things seriously is because our society makes it so, life doesn't have to be so mature all the time. If we dropped this perception that we have to grow up and let go of childish things then collective lives of the population would be much happier, fun, and enjoyable. How many children do you see suffering from depression? Not very many. If we clung to the of innocence, wonder, and whimsicality that we possess as a child, the world would be a much better place. I'm not saying we shouldn't take anything seriously and that people shouldn't be responsible, but the complete lack of humor and fun that plagues most adults' lives needs to change.
