why are we not so happy as we were in our childhood?

Happiness is nothing more than an expression of the human limitation. When you child of so many limitations that it seems feasible action. Wait look forward to you doing everything you want. And then the tragic reality once your world opens up before you realize that nothing is feasible. Get older you realize that even when all you say you're young and can do anything.In fact everything you want, and per output are other desires. And there was no turning back. Looking for salvation in hobbies, opportunities, friends, love. As some purposes that must be checked.. And yet they are not your goals are purposes of the world around you. So you are told you have to be. Then eventually hiding in religion, another hope for eternal life, a While only yours forever, in a world where your dreams can come true. You give the reason and will not let anyone deny you conviction.You will not let anyone tell you you can not be happy. And time passes. And dreams are shattered. And happiness disappears. And no longer return!

Normally we wish we could recapture the carefree days of childhood.kids have absolutely nothing to worry about,do they? No bills to pay,bosses to answer to,or obligations to keep.They have none of the everyday stress we adults have.But is really childhood a good time for all? Nowadays childhood is far from being without stress. Children can be faced with many difficulties,they are ill-equipped to handle emotionally-divorce,poverty,learning disabilities,abuse,neglect and so on.Children do feel powerless against these situations occuring in their families,and the effects can remain with them well into adulthood. Finding happiness is like finding yourself.Does better life relate to happiness?for a short time.In the long run definately not. "Happiness is a butterfly,which,when pursued,is always just beyon your grasp,but which,if you sit down quietly,may alight upon you."- Nathaniel Hawthorne

I think that when we are kids we are freer in mind, we feel more secure as we don't have the worries we have as we get older, life is just one picnic when we are young and then we grow up and suddenly we have responsibilities...

Children do not allow everyday worries to cloud their enjoyment of simple pleasures. As adults I think we are sometimes too jaded or feel we are too sophisticated to just enjoy the world around us.

When we were young, we didn't have to worry about anything. Everything was given to us. Money, food, clothes. We didnt care how we look. Or how we get dressed. Because all we cared about when we were children was that of staying happy (playing, videogames, etc). As we grow older, we mature. We realize life isn't always as it was. School, jobs, bills, relationship. These are just some stuff that separate us from being kids. We're no longer the carefree children we were before. Now we have responsibilities.

I think happiness is a way of thinking. If you believe that an abundance of stuff makes you happy, then it does. I believe living, loving, and joyously creating makes me happy. I think when were kids were pure joy and then we start to absorb lifes many lessons, and in the process start to get angry, sad, or dissatisfied. I think its possible to get back to that child like state as we already did it once.

because when we are children we don't have to take on responsibility that's why we always happy. after we grow up have to think about many things. like job, love, raise a family stuff like that.when we are chilren we can do silly things like running around and people will say wow that kids is so cute , if u try running around if u grow up people will says that u are crazy.
