04 ☆ Exceeding theoretical boundaries

Playgrounds are designed for use by children. Why do adults seem to derive enjoyment from it as well?

Because it is interesting! I enjoy it! And my students seem to as well!

What part is interesting to you?

spandexisyouth September 24 2010, 05:02:37 UTC

The swings! And the slides. And the climbing. I think that I like it all.

lingeringlegacy September 24 2010, 05:23:04 UTC

Is it the same as sliding and climbing while training normally?

spandexisyouth September 24 2010, 05:30:37 UTC

There normally are not the things for sliding or climbing, aside from trees. This gives variety in the workout, and one can feel young at heart while they work out!

If it is more fun with playground designs, why don't more adult equipments be designed like that, I wonder?

spandexisyouth September 24 2010, 06:14:33 UTC

Because for some reason many adults are afraid of being seen as being child-like. Child-like is not the same as childish, but not all know this.

How would you define child-like and childish?

spandexisyouth September 24 2010, 07:22:35 UTC

Child-like is embracing life and living in the moment, not worried about what stress tomorrow might bring.

Childish is ignoring the consequences of your actions and being immature.

lingeringlegacy September 24 2010, 12:18:39 UTC

Are those definitions really different? I would suppose that not being concerned about the future may lead to unwanted consequences.

spandexisyouth September 24 2010, 20:22:36 UTC

Not worrying does not mean you ignore it. It means that you do not worry about things that are beyond your control, but you are aware of your actions. Childish is to be upset when your actions have consequences.

How does one become someone who doesn't worry? There are so many things beyond our control here...

spandexisyouth September 25 2010, 07:21:15 UTC

What does it help to worry about something you cannot change? Work on what you can, and what is beyond your control do not let stress you.

lingeringlegacy September 25 2010, 07:25:35 UTC

It is not that it helps, but the worry just comes.

If I wish to learn to become child-like, how do you think I should start?

Sorry, my internet was being fail last night. spandexisyouth September 25 2010, 23:03:50 UTC

Embrace life, every moment of it. Do not waste it dwelling on what could have been and is not. Live in a way that avoids regrets as much as possible, even when it is challenging. Especially if it is challenging!
