Eh, not really, I promise you I am quite disillusioned with the current state of affairs in politics and society in general, but I have found that very little is gained by staying angry/pissed off in general.

And much is gained by staying positive, even against the odds, I get a lot of energy from my positivity, and others do as well.

I think you missed the first section when I spoke about my definition of being an adult is when you know when it is APROPRIATE to be childish, that also means knowing when it isn't apropriate to be childish.

If I am in a meeting, I will stay serious, but if I am interacting with kids I will be more childish and share in their experience.
