When Paradise Was Lost-And How We Might Find It Again
Have you ever watched a child completely absorbed in play-building sand castles with the focus of a master architect, or chasing butterflies with the determination of an explorer? There's something almost sacred in those moments, a quality that seems to evaporate the moment we tell them to "grow up." What if the entire project of civilization has been backward? What if instead of teaching children how to become adults, we should be learning from them how to become fully human? This isn't sentimental nostalgia. Every person carries within them a haunting memory of something lost-a time when colors seemed brighter, when curiosity needed no justification, when being alive was enough. The intelligent among us spend lifetimes trying to recapture what we can barely remember, while others simply forget they ever lived in paradise at all. Watch how quickly adults praise the obedient child and scold the playful one. The reasoning seems obvious at first-playfulness disrupts order, creates messes, demands attention. But look deeper. What truly threatens us isn't the noise or the chaos. It's the freedom. A child who plays freely today becomes a teenager who questions authority tomorrow. They won't march obediently into wars they didn't start, marriages that serve someone else's needs, or jobs that crush their spirit. This is why playfulness must be destroyed-not because it's harmful, but because it contains the seeds of rebellion.
