Why do we sympathize the mentally challenged when their perspective on life is one of bliss and oblivion, like the mind of a child? And don't we all never want to grow up?

Why is it that our society looks upon the mentally challeneged with sympathy and pity; instead of envying this group who views the world as rose-colored and has a unique ability to trust.

Why do we sympathize the mentally challenged when their perspective on life is one of bliss and oblivion, like the mind of a child? And, don't we all "never" want to grow up?
Just simple quotation marks on NEVER is sufficient and also makes the sentence more understandable.

It's the last sentence that contains the double negative. How about this: "Isn't there a part of each of us that never wants to grow up?"

It's not a double negative. Never is not a negative. If you try to change the two 'supposed' negatives - it would come out as "we all want to grow up" - which is not what you're saying.
It's fine as it is.

You can fix the last sentence by changing it to: And we never want to grow up. You can use don't or never, but not both in the same sentence.
Interestingly, you think in double negatives.
Try writing simpler sentences with fewer words.

instead of "like the mind of a child."
How about "like the innocence of a child."
and omit "And don't we all never want to grow up?"
^_^
Im sorry, I hope I didnt change the over all meaning.

The last part " In one way or another, we all want to stay innocent (young) forever."

the last part "and don't we all never want to grow up?"
should be something like "after all, we all never want to grow up" or "and don't we all want to stay young forever?"

i dont think it is... it doesnt read quite right but the dont and the never are used differently.. maybe: "and don't we all want to stay young forever?"
