Wondering..
Yesterday I was sort of viewing life in general and wondering about it. I kept asking myself whether there is a phase in human life where we all live happily and satisfied, like childhood for example or maybe teen age. Of course it differs from one person to the other and it's an awkward question to ask, but I felt I was forced to answer it and take it into consideration.
If someone asked me which phase of my life I prefer or like most I would say my childhood, on which many people would agree with me I guess. I mean it's the only phase when you knew nothing, almost nothing, about real life with its disadvantages and memories. You had the chance to view life and 'imagine' it as much as you can. For you it was like a dream of your own, you have the chance to adjust it as you want. You didn't really pay attention to the future as you hardly made any mistakes, or if you made some, you were forgiven. Or let's say the future was full of optimism and sweet dreams. You 'managed' to expect and speculate about the fact that things can go wrong from time to time, but this dream of yours about your future shall not be influenced by such 'bad' incidents. That's why I think the most enjoyable time in our current lives as adults or grown-ups in general would be when getting the chance to reveal memories from our childhood and to act as normal as we did when we were young.
I also guess that when we were children we were mainly controlled by our vanity. And afterwards, whenever we feel the effect of our vanity rising, then it's because we're refreshing this old feeling from the past.
So why don't we take childhood memories as a special chance to refresh our vanity and imagine (though our imagination may sometimes deceive us) life from a brighter point of view.
That's why I believe in a quote I've extracted from Pride and Prejudice and made some changes in it :
Though it's very often nothing but our own vanity which deceives us, we have to hold on to it!!
Long lives our vanity!!
P.S.: Will make a separate blog about the topic vanity, because of course I don't approve of extensions of this 'privilege'.

Nice post, Nada.
But my problem with this topic is that I simply don't think that life is about being happy and having fun..
These are the main aims in a child's life while adults should have noticed that being happy about what's right is much more important than just being happy..
But I totally agree with you that one has to keep his childish, pure dreams in mind because they are often the only way to stay alive!
