>The only reason why life is assumed to be great during youth is because you're legally banned from having a job
Excuse me sir, but I have to interject.
One of the things I liked about childhood is that we were children outside playing with each other just for fun the lulz. There was no ulterior motivation, there was no envy, no jealoussy, no status seeking, no I am better than thou, no dog eat dog competitive environment where everyone wants to fuck over everyone else. We were just kiddos looking to kill time.
>Now if you wanna go back to that because you're too weak to handle anymore bullshit from the adult life,
I want to go back to this life because I was an ignorant fool. Entire day you think about what fun stuff you want to do and what new things you want to try out. What new stuff you might find online. What new game you could pirate and try out.
Everything was fucking new, the entire world was my America and I was Columbus.
And instead, today I think of how the world is fucked
>economically
>socially
>politically
and how there is no future. Not for me, but neither for anyone else and especially not for the normalfags who will get fucked in the coming new trend of automatisation, robotification and AI.
and the worst thing is always when you understand that there is no freedom on this shit planet.
When you want to drink raw milk there is some rulecuck politico who will not allow you to.
When you want to grow a herb, ferment its leaves and smoke it, you have some rulecuck to tell you it is not allowed
And in 20 years, when you want to drive your car, there will be some rulecuck to tell you this is not allowed because you are genociding the climate by doing so.
This entire planet is a fucking jail.
An open air jail.
And we are the inmates.
>If anything, I imagine my ideal childhood being in a shonen-ai reality.
this is why we escape to 2D worlds
>Also, why do adults expect children to be all the same?
from my experience, adults always project their unfulfilled goals and morals to their children
>Johnny, I was a fucking drunkward, I pokered away my entire salary but you will not be like this
>I want you to go to college, marry a religious wife and be successful role model parent and one day president
>drugs are evil, never do drugs sips from bottle
>but will steal the credit if their kids succeed.
<junior is sucessful Fortune 500 entrepreneur of the year
>DAT IS MUH SON
<junior is meth addict living under the bridge
>sorry junior, please never speak to me or my wife ever again
>Anytime a child or teen shows cynicism or disbelief they're called "selfish" or "heartless"
this is because parents hate it when their lies are self evident and junior already sees that he was born in a shit family and has no future
<but johnny, I had it shitty too, I managed to achieve at least that….
sure buddy, but this situation is like when you are Champion in the paralympics
even if you win, you will stay a cripple, nothing will change the fact …
