"In speaking of depression and its defining effect of driving its victim to the point of caring nothing for anything, the American talk-show host Dick Cavett once remarked that “when you’re downed by this affliction, if there were a curative magic wand on the table eight feet away, it would be too much trouble to go over and pick it up.” No better elucidation has ever been proffered vis-à-vis the uselessness of reason in the absence of emotion. In the recumbence of depression, your information-gathering system collates its intelligence and reports to you these facts: (1) there is nothing to do; (2) there is nowhere to go; (3) there is nothing to be; (4) there is no one to know. Without meaning-charged emotions keeping your brain on the straight and narrow, you would lose your balance and fall into an abyss of lucidity. And for a conscious being, lucidity is a cocktail without ingredients, a crystal clear concoction that will leave you hung over with reality. In perfect knowledge there is only perfect nothingness, which is perfectly painful if what you want is meaning in your life."

I wish vastly more people would accept that. Worrying about being an adult in children and adolescents is like little kids wearing their parents oversized shoes to feel less like children, and I think a fair majority of adults never outgrow that mentality. It's like the entire human race is trying to fake it till they make it as far as being mature adults.

Childish is just a polite way of saying idiotic.

One of the great joys in life is to do something childish and then watch all the boring ****s stare at you as if they're trying to figure out if you've lied about your age. I might be just a tad anti-social btw. Haven't confirmed.
