Youth vs Adult vs Authority

Miscellaneous General
1

If any of you ever work with kids you know that, once established, you cannot take their freedoms without war. They will fight your all the way with defiance.

But adults, they seem to just give their freedoms away. They fill voids with rules, rulers, deeds and deities, etc.

What’s so different?

The youth will fall from running, bruise from horseplay, make their mistakes but at each interval year they long for more freedom.It seems like the youth test the waters of authority up to a point, and then they simply stop and accept it.

2

Considering that children have no responsibilities, the costs normally associated with freedom are probably reduced.

Furthermore, it’s worth noting that children are very unfree, and most of them don’t seem to mind at all.

3

That they have children of their own?

4

Valid enough, I guess you could say that children are only anti-authority because they operate from the comforts of their parents. It just strikes me as odd that the youth ambitiously break all the rules of authority based on age because they find the rules irrelevant yet at some point they simply stop finding the rules irrelevant and start following them. I guess this why a revolution is probably built on the backs of the youth

5

Most people have had their personalities destroyed by the time they enter adulthood.

6

Cause they are ignorant and irresponsible.

7

Could it be that govt schools are crushing their free spirits, from day 1?
