Adult culture should be focused on adult topics -- these still leave plenty of room for escapism, whether they are 'academic' topics (e.g. science, technology, nature, adult literature, art, history) or craft activities. My impression is that this is the way in many countries, and used to be true in the USA #culture
It seems to me that many adults today refuse to evolve, to move on to the next phase of their lives.
It’s pathetic.
Like the people who get married at Disney World or the old men who revv their Porsches thinking that’ll bring them partners half their age.
I want to shout at them:”Grow up!” But it’s too sad.
@nathaliaassaad Yeah, I'm a bit conflicted about griping like this -- it's not like I don't waste any time/money on frivolous activities. And there's no hard line separating 'a bit of fun' from 'taking things to extremes'. But I cringe when I'm asked to take someone else's frivolity seriously.
Of course, everyone is free to do as they wish, but they shouldn't expect to be taken seriously.
