Adulthood seems to be doomed to act. More adult I seem to get more I spend my time doing things or getting them done. Actually this could be the reason young people have all the good ideas. Because adults hardly think. They are too busy doing things. I dont mean adults do things without thinking. They do, but most of it is a strange constrained kind of thinking. What can i get out of this situation, how do i plan for tomorrow, what can go wrong. That is hardly thinking. Worse, it is thinking without imagination bolstered with strict risk aversion on each side. And if you reflect on it, most of the adults actually yearn to go back to their imaginations. Because one who has thought imaginatively know that there is rarely a better thing in this world. That is why adults yearn to retire. That is why they also look forward to taking a vacation or take up a hobby. Retirement brings that bliss and back to ones imaginations. But cant we have a life full of imagination, one where working adults at the peak of their game can also imagine and not always flex their muscles to keep the world going? I wish.
