Im aware of that since I was 12 probably, so it seemed pretty weird when you said I miss the point. Whats your occupation though if you dont mind me asking man? And are you really 35 years old like it says in your profile?

What you don't seem to be aware of is the basic perspective differences between a carefree child and a fully grown, responsible adult. Fundamentally, they think differently. A child generally lives in a world of wonder, possibility and doesn't even comprehend the gravity of life and what you have to do to navigate it. Both a child and an adult can spend their days doing what they love, but they're still going to be doing those things from a completely different perspective, and the adult is simply not going to have the same context they had when they were children. Which is entirely why nostalgia about childhood exists in memory.

But all of that is irrelevant to the fact that an adult can't simply spend his or her life like a child would, else they would end up on the streets.

Aware of all that as well, I just have never been a busy and responsible adult myself, so I of course dont know what its like to be one. I must mention that Im Israeli though so I might not be able to explain myself very well at times.

I'm a web designer, and yes, I'm 35.

Ah well, Im 20 and I have no occupation so we're at two completely different worlds I guess.

I think it's more based on whether you've gotten to the point where reality is more important for your own survival and those of who you love, versus just living your childhood fantasies and neglecting the things you need to be doing to actually live.
Obviously, a young guy being supported by his folks and having no actual inclination to assume the responsibility of supporting himself is not going to understand the point that is being made here. Whether you fall in that category is not for me to say. I'm just saying, regardless of where you are in the world, the very objective fact remains that in order to be responsible for your own life, you sorta need to be worrying about that more than riding bikes or playing nintendo, or whatever it is that kids do now days.

Being supported by other people doesnt mean I cant support myself and take care of things if I had to. Just that Im not exactly at a condition in my life where I can rent a home and get a job easily and take care of things like mortgage. Obviously one day I'd have to, but it is not for you to decide what I should or shouldn't be doing. We all live out lives differently, and my life isnt something that needs an in-depth discussion like this in an astrology signs thread.

Not always. Some adults have severe daydreaming issues, are incredibly imaginative, or generally are lost in wonder.

Well, I wouldn't think that a grown person wouldn't be able to focus on the here and now and pay atten.....Look! A Bunny!!! ---->

Oh, and I don't have an astrological sign. I reject the entire concept of the position of the earth in it's orbit around our sun in relation to other planets as utterly silly. I believe that personality traits are the result of a combination of genes and life experience
