大人の弊害
おっさんになると、何か行動する前に「本当にこれは意味あるのか?」と考えが先行して行動がとまる時がある。これは長く生きてきた中で培われた、いわゆる「大人の弊害」
理由がないのに動けないのは大人の弊害だ。理由なんていらない。
大人になると、何かをするために「最もらしい理由」が必要だと感じてしまう。例えば、新しいことを始めるには、「これをやると自分にとってどんなメリットがあるか」といった理由を考えてしまう。子どもたちが、まず楽しむためにただ何かをするのとは対照的。
大人になると、どうしても慎重になりすぎて自由さを失われる。なにか心にひっかっかったら思い切って「やりたい!」と言ってみる。周りの目を気にせず、自分の気持ちに正直に言ってみる。

The downside of adulthood
When you are an old man, sometimes before you do something you stop thinking, ‘Does this really make sense?’ and sometimes the action stops before you think, ‘Does this really make sense? This is what is called ‘adult harm’, which has been cultivated over a long life.
It is an evil of adulthood to get stuck without a reason. We don’t need a reason.
As adults we feel we need a ‘plausible reason’ to do something. For example, if we want to start something new, we think of reasons such as ‘what is in it for me if I do this’. This is in contrast to children who do something for fun.
As adults, we tend to be too cautious and lose our freedom. When something is on your mind, you have the courage to say, ‘I want to do it! I want to do it! Don’t worry about what others think, just be honest about how you feel.
