Worst Thing About Childhood

PERSONAL ARTICLE

Worst Thing About Childhood

This is a piece comparing the safety-obsession in childhood and adulthood. I also wrote this quite a while ago, check out this link for the full article on my, well, article blog.


"Adults choke the vitality out of children—ostensibly “for their own good”. And we grow into adults who perpetrate the same injustices by suppressing each other. Do we pathetically clamor for more safety or face the thrill of risk and the challenge of responsibility? We must recognize that freedom to make choices is not only freedom to make mistakes—it is also freedom to succeed and to transcend oneself."
