"If you want to be creative, stay in part a child, with the
   creativity and invention that characterizes children before they
   are deformed by adult society." ~Jean Piaget "There are children
   playing in the streets who could solve some of my top problems
   in physics, because they have modes of sensory perception that I
   lost long ago." ~J. Robert Oppenheimer So in another post here
   in INFP I got into a discussion with Kenneth Udut relating to
   our inner child...so not wanting to derail that topic any
   further, I wanted to start a new topic on that to hear other
   peoples thoughts relating to it.
   So to start off, what are your thoughts on the inner child? In
   other words/things to talk about: Are you still a child at
   heart? What characteristics do you have or things do you do that
   may be considered "childish" or "childlike" according to your
   cultures' standards? What are you views on the emphasis society
   puts on becoming an "adult"? Do you think that certain
   personality types may be more prone to child-like behavior? I'd
   love to hear others thoughts on this if they have any! Sorry for
   the long post.
