Children Adults Trends

More From Fran Lebowitz

People are storytelling creatures. we like stories that go somewhere, and therefore we like trends - because trends are things that either get better or get worse, so we can either rejoice or lament. but we mistakenly depict many things as trends moving in some direction. we take the "full house" of variation in a system and try to represent it as a single number, when in fact what we should be doing is studying the variation as it expands and contracts. if you look at the history of the variation in all its complexity, then you see there's no trend.

Look at children. of course they may quarrel, but generally speaking they do not harbor ill feelings as much or as long as adults do. most adults have the advantage of education over children, but what is the use of an education if they show a big smile while hiding negative feelings deep inside? children don�t usually act in such a manner. if they feel angry with someone, they express it, and then it is finished. they can still play with that person the following day.

Working with children is very different than the way in which i work with adults. i never tell the children the actual truth of the thing that i want them to act. although children are really into play and play acting, and this is a major part of their existence, they never actually find the playing or acting of adults credible.

What's wrong with our children? adults telling children to be honest while lying and cheating. adults telling children to not be violent while marketing and glorifying violence... i believe that adult hypocrisy is the biggest problem children face in america.
Cheating Children Lying
In great countries, children are always trying to remain children, and the parents want to make them into adults. in vile countries, the children are always wanting to be adults and the parents want to keep them children.
Country Children Always Trying
Adults follow paths. children explore. adults are content to walk the same way, hundreds of times, or thousands; perhaps it never occurs to adults to step off the paths, to creep beneath rhododendrons, to find the spaces between fences. i was a child, which meant that i knew a dozen different ways of getting out of our property and into the lane, ways that would not involve walking down our drive.

Over the last 25 years, since a lot of science writing became accessible to layman, i've become quite a consumer of science. as a child, i wasn't streamed into science, and i regret that now.

Your children are not your children. they are lives longing for itself. they come here with their own destiny. give them your love. they will find their own way.
Children Destiny Giving
Certainly, i know what it's like to be obsessed. i haven't always been there for my children. they could reach me, but i wasn't always there. but, you know, that's not necessarily anything to do with being a writer. i mean, a taxi driver could have the same problem... maybe.
Children Mean Problem
'we were the mulvaneys' is perhaps the novel closest to my heart. i think of it as a valentine to a passing way of american life, and to my own particular child - and girlhood in upstate new york. everyone in the novel is enormously close to me, including marianne's cat, muffin, who was in fact my own cat.
