How ironic. Most of the adults would be glad to be a child once again, unburdened by the responsibility of the society. On the other hand, most of the children would want to grow up faster instead, to experience the privileges of freedom. Is that really so? Is that only what we think? I do not know but I would like to believe that some of the adults would rather remained as an adult to enjoy the freedom he/she desire from young. I would also like to believe that some of the children would rather stay as a child, just happy to do only what he is suppose to.

What about me, you ask? Haha, I like myself to be special. From young, I was conditioned to stereotype that all the adults want to be carefree again and all the children want to escape from childhood. Hence, slowly but surely, I wanted to grow up faster. I wanted to be an adult. But, it was not to enjoy the so-called privileges of freedom, it was just to understand why adults wanted to be children and why children wanted to be adults. The carefree of children, the privilege of freedom, they were nothing but illusions. I have come to this age where people can consider us to be boys or gentlemen therefore I can say that I understand part of what it is to be an adult and what it is to be a child. I cannot consider myself to be carefree with the amount of pressure and workload I have. Of course, it cannot be compared to the stress an adult face but nontheless it was a negative force so strong and intangible that it holds you down as time passes. Yet the desire to experience freedom of adults were not quench.

However, I am fine with it. Simply because I feel that what both the adults and children wanted is the same. Privilege of freedom of the adults and being unburden and carefree like the children,is to break free from the chains of the absolute existence, life. In this society, whether you are a child or an adult, you got restrain but the rules of life. Children were bound by rules and regulations to protect us, despite the fact that we may not like the limitations. Adults, similarly, were weighed down by troubles of surviving, not only for themselves but for their families. They have a need to fret over little events that may bring changes to their lives or the lives of their loved ones. Therefore, they felt that its hard to take just a breather, thinking that such a short rest would bring a change to their routinal life, making their world upside-down.
