well that's true, that's the ignorance is bliss argument right? like i'm sure retarded people are "content". because they don't know any better, they don't have any aspirations. I think a lot of people see retarded people being happy, and wish they could just enjoy the moment, and not feel that pressure to be something more. I know i do.

We see children and retarded people able to enjoy life on such a basic level. I think we all wish we could enjoy life on such a basic level. But we don't have that luxury, able-bodied adults have a greater responsibility so that children can just enjoy life.

It does seem like childhood is the best time in life, and unfortunately we were too stupid to really appreciate it.
In life, the more you learn, the more you know, the more you realize, you realize how little you know, and how little everyone else knows, and how utterly ****ing clueless we are as a species.

we all wish to be children again.
