Oreo, you made many good points. I agree that immaturity(or acting like an idiot) IS NOT HAPPINESS but only a result(for some people). But in reference to when you said " (this is where you start laughing like a jackass and cracking jokes every 5 seconds, this isnt hapiness, this is paranoid over-excersion of commical remarks.) You are trying TOO HARD" I believe that is not right. Everybody defines happiness for themselves, and what your defining is not happiness(see the delightful contradictions? cause TO ME what you define is NOT freedom, or what I feel) you can't define it for them, their definition may not be the same as yours but you CAN'T TELL THEM WHAT IS RIGHT OR WRONG. For instance, when I said that I "crack jokes with alarming frequency": I AM , my friend, NOT BEING IMMATURE. I get like I described in my post when I am happy, my actions CAN BE INTERPRETED as immaturity(just as you did, I guess), but for me it is a release, in my mind I no longer care what other people will think, I AM FREE (/me makes jets sounds). It is very hard to release, you should try it, but liberating; in my mind I think :"F- society, F- propreitiy, F- what all you other people are going to think of me because your not worth it, you never did anything for me, why should I care about you? I shouldn't my life is too short, I want to be happy!" then magically my mind is released and slowly all the pressure that I put on myself is gone, you almost float. I can say rude things when I am in this state, but it is said in such good humor that nobody takes that much offense, nor do I care if they do. I am not yet happy just for the sake of living, I can't just sit around like that kid and play with my toy and smile and be CONTENT with the world because, sh!t, I am not content, I think that I have so much to do, so much to say, so much to think, that I can't just BE, that would be giving up. so for that time when I am free, I am content, I don't care. Brillant, isn't it? no, well F_CK you!
Hmmmm, an interesting thought has come to me, depending on how one would define immaturity one could say that it IS happiness. IF, immaturity is defined as NOT BEING MATURE, and if maturity is defined as ignorance about life, then maturity is sorta like the act of taking on burdens, responsiblities, not being burdened is freedom, and ignorance is bliss, so...immaturity is like bliss, get it? well, oreo, what you defined in you post here:" Kids dont ever act like idiots until they actually start talking, walking, and developing a strong ego. '\n' This is when they are overly concerned with being "defined" by their society/environment and start projecting an "image" way too strongly." I just define that as being an idiot, just as you said. An idiot who CARES ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK OF THEM, this is a matter of the ego, not immaturity.
