For some men, life seems to be one long attempt to escape childhood and all the fears of childhood. That's what many of us are doing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Man's loneliness is but his fear of life.
Because we are afraid of life, we seek to control or master it.
Being a kid is so much more fun than being an adult. I think that's the crux of it. I think men are just less inclined to grow up because it's much more fun being a child.
While there's life, there's fear.
When I look back at that freedom of childhood, which is in a way infinite, and at all the joy and the intense happiness, now lost, I sometimes think that childhood is where the real meaning of life is located, and that we, adults, are its servants - that that's our purpose.
There's no point living at my age with many ingrained great fears.
When you make that crossover from life to real life, when you're not treated as a child anymore but as a man, and you are no longer given the benefit of the doubt, it takes some courage to face that.
I worry whether it's not really the best way to live one's life - trying to fulfill the dreams you had as a child. Maybe it's quite a backwards approach.
It seems like the more you grow up the more you fear things.
To experience life you have to kind of face a lot of fears.
