The Minds Of Children (Fun Size Post)

Each and every day, we interact with at least one person; online or in reality. Minds meet through communication and by doing this, we learn more about each other and subliminally, we learn more about the psychology of that person.
Without really meaning to, we begin to understand what makes them tick. If you're anything like me, you observe the mental traits of everyone; especially those of the manager at the 7-Eleven.

By applying psychological thought consciously (i.e. you know you're studying the behaviour of others), you learn stuff about everyone else that Sherlock Holmes would have deduced instantly.
And while we're on the topic of deduction, let me introduce the topic of this post by saying that it will not be about Sherlock Holmes, but rather about something I've learnt this week.
And it is that no matter who you meet in life; you'll always have to face the mental characteristics of children.

This week was an interesting week to say the least; it had begun spectacularly. And then by about Thursday, it had all decided to spiral downwards.
Not because my mind was psychologically tuned to match that of a child, but there was elements of child-like behaviour involved in the descent of happiness.
Upon reflection of the events of the past few days, that was when I came to the conclusion that childish behaviour is exhibited in almost everything we do.

• In moments of certain forms of happiness, we lose all mature thought and go with our childish logic; because when we are happy, our 'inner child' rejoices and decides to make us more playful/giggly/silly. 
• When someone says or does anything that we interpret as a bad thing, sometimes we go and play with the other children in the playground because that person is now a deadly enemy. And because that's how it is and because they're a "bad person", we ignore them and not include them in our games.
• Sometimes you appeal to certain people and only hold their attention with things that normally interest children (food, guns, cars, 'shiny' stuff....). And when you no longer provide the trinkets or entertainment, then their attention is GONE.
• And sometimes, when certain people don't get the 'toys' they want, but another person does; then there is a jealousy crisis more deadly than cyanide.  The jealous person will then therefore resort to doing things that a child would do (saying negative stuff, making up rumours and acting all innocent about it when deep down you know that they're a lying b*****d). Because if they can't have the 'toy', they're going to make the other person suffer as well. Or put up a massive, hysterical fuss until they get what they want.
• Sometimes people take the games of "following the leader" and make believe a bit too seriously and they try to replicate the "leaders" life/make a new and different life from scratch and incorporate all that the leader/influence does into their own life. People that do that need to get away from the dress up box and use their imagination to come up with their own life (Imagination is one of few childhood elements people must never let go of).

Maybe when we're affected by the negative actions of people who exhibit these childish traits constantly, we're meant to take on a more mature role and exhibit authority/dominance over them. However you look at it; they can't keep being a kid forever. And if they refuse to admit they're being a bad kid, then you need to leave them in the naughty corner to rot.
Because they're not your biological offspring and you are not their guardian. Why should you look after them if they're not meant to be your problem??

Leave the strange kid in the corner and go enjoy your life. You're a strong independent person, not a single parent. (If you are an actual single parent; I'm sorry if you've been offended)
