The reason childhood seems so wonderful is that adulthood can seem more intense if you let it. And, the mind is good at mostly remembering the good stuff in the long term, but the bad stuff in the short term. I think one difference is that people have more time in childhood to experience new things and that they do not give themselves the same opportunities in adulthood. We get so caught up with the here and now in our adulthood that we forget to look into our own imaginations like we did in childhood. Pity. KarinsDad :) :) :)
