There is a huge divide between what is considered to be the adult world and the child world. Within the two worlds there are very different things.

The adult world:
Sex.
Violence.
Drugs.
Danger.
War.

The Child world:
Carefreeness.
Lack of heavy responsibility.
Easy 'Carefree' Fun.
Learning new things.

Why is that when someone grows to a certain age they are expected to relinquish the things of youth as if they are something that has grown to small or undesirable. Then after having freely given it up they bemoan their existence, "why is life so hard?" for example.

Things like fairy tales for example with happy endings are considered children’s stuff and 'not fit' for the adult world. Yet buried deep within these stories is a wisdom for ages past, and yet the adult world ignores this because it comes in a package that is for children.

Why does the adult world turn it's back on these things from youth? Why does it treat them as if they are something to be discarded with the of the rubbish?

Please explain why you think this is.

(P.S. Please focus on the intent of the question and not the question itself.)

Thanks in advance.

really because their is a difference between the innocence that a child may have and that an adult may have. the fairy tales like cinderella are there to tell the children that no matter what people say they can be wrong about you and that you should never give. in the adult world we know that finding the perfect prince and riding away on a white pony is bull**** because they dont mention the long days of work the almost certain sex that they are going to have and the problems and conflicts that will arise in a persons life.
the fairytales are there as a meaning of encouragement to children that are willing to listen to the story and most know that yes the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again and yet children dont realize that the moral was that the spider didnt give up. children stories are silly and their for encouragment and adult stories are there to lift us up when we are down and to give us hope that our life will not suck forever. innocence is the divide because soon enough when the children are older they are going to realize things and move on from the silly stories that they listened too because they have heard the moral and dont care to embrace it through a child story and move on to something that is more adult for them so they can have an actual learning experiance.
if you want to read a childs book then do so because i read them to my sister and not the adult ones because those will take away her innocence in a way. so read all that you like but the adukt stories are meant for adults because 5 year olds dont need to know what an illegal immigrant is and how herione is used...

Sin replace into invented with the help of adult males to marginalize different adult males. as lengthy as you're no longer hurting absolutely everyone else there is not any incorrect. How ever disgusting others at the same time with your habit is infringing on the rights of others even if Hetero or Homo. So I say stay and enable stay yet why attempt to shove it in different peoples faces. 2 factors: a million. people must be taken care of the comparable even if married or single. equivalent pay for equivalent artwork. 2. Marriage ought to easily be a non secular factor. The device is unsuitable, I say restore the device and 2 wrongs do no longer make a suited.

Adults have already taken all they can take from fairy tales and stories of the "good in mankind". Children don't know anything yet, that's why they are carefree and lack responsibility. If you put heavy burdens on young developing minds (which means children's brains are not fully DEVELOPED yet) then you create personality disorders and a world of stress and pain that we just want to avoid. Adult minds can handle it, if their childhoods were free of stress and worry. But unfortunately children do not live the carefree lifestyles that you are talking about. They have burdens everyday, just lesser ones.
