Infantile Amusements
When I grow up, I want to be a child. This statement was made by a grown-up who recalled freedom from worry that characterized childhood. Grown-ups have authority and power, yet crave the carefree spirit of childhood. While our intellect tells us we can never be children again, our hearts long for the fabled fountain of youth. Our entertainment industry is a sophisticated version of childhood play. Our intellect must triumph, however, and we must assume the serious business of life. We can be amused and we can distract ourselves with entertainments, but these activities should not become our goals in life.
