Did you watch the world cup celebrations? Watching the full grown men of the Argentina side jumping around like children in completely childlike glee is something I wish adults could feel comfortable doing all the time. Seeing that really has me thinking about how we emotionally neuter ourselves as adults in a way that is totally unnecessary. I'm not against people holding onto the things they like from childhood, just so long as they also become adults where it really matters.
At the risk of sounding like a lib, as the fourth Doctor of Doctor Who said:
"There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes."
I don't even mind if it's all times.
