Adulthood is a myth. There have never been adults in the history of humanity. We’ve always been children, roleplaying what see around us, and contnue these patterns into adulthood.
Except we forgot we were playing. And if you really remember childhood, play can be VERY serious.
Humanity is children. Your parents are children. Plato was a child. He simply asked the same questions he did when he was little and it took him DECADES to figure them out.
As did you. And I. Our bodies just grow old around us. But we never become adults. All a myth.
