The question is: Are we in a position to differentiate between the mindset we had in our childhood and we having now? I bet more than 50% people have least of the moments to look into the matter. Because the society in which they are brought up , the education they had, the advice they perceive, the position they have right now would never allow them to rethink it. Because as per their mindset it only wastes their valuable time and it may also give a handful of headaches and nothing less than that. Let’s try to go deep into the matter if you can.
Way behind our intermediate education we used to be in proper guidance and care of our parents. More than half of the questions we used to ask during that time are irrelevant for us now. We can feel the diversity of types of questions we used to ask during the school days are less than that we ask during LKG or UKG level. The same thing is reflected now. Question is: Are we becoming more sensible and more intelligent so that we are now able to answer those questions easily. Else we are unwilling to face those questions again which we asked during our childhood. Else we want to concentrate on the current work more consciously than wasting our time. And at last we really run from those questions as we still have no answers to them. The accurate answer to the ambiguous question will be different for different individuals. I may explain what I feel.
What I feel is major portion of our time is being spent on fulfilling responsibilities and equipping ourselves to live more comfortably and peacefully. We are fed in such way that we completely know and recognize things which we should not do. We are hardly taught about the areas where we should work. Before the start of any work the prime cause of excess time is we always search for the paths that we should not follow. That's what I call constraints of life. So we get a little amount of time to think which path we really should follow. Take a funny and interesting example. Whenever we look a girl we always compare the features with our expectations. She should be like this and that. We think about culture, parents, caste, language, religion, complexion, height, health and all. By the time we think what type she is, how she thinks, how much she cares, she is really gone out of the scope. Fine let's try again... Next time the same thing happens. The really sadness behind the idea is ,these things happens in our day to day life, but we are so much usual and habitual to these constraints that we think all these to be rules we should follow and we should not disrespect them. And we keep on getting into the network of constraints of life deeper and deeper. Well God help us and give us some freedom from these so called rules, I mean CONSTRAINTS we have.

I really don't agree with the title. This passage is more about how we change as we grow. As we grow we came to know more things, we experience more and can decide which one is better and why. In childhood if you were playing with dolls, you don't do that today.It's a way of life. You know more, you use them wisely, you get skilled everyday. So how could this be a constraint, your visibility is getting better.
If you compare with childhood, then that would be craziness, not only your mind, your body, your behavior,all of them has undergone a change. They cannot be the same or neither you can make them work as before. Your responsibilities are increased, now people know you from by your name, not your parent's name.So stop wasting your time thinking about those things and go ahead and make a bright future, so that some day people would be proud of being with you at some time.
We always ignore small things when we grow. We never think a lot about a+b still we are ready to calculate a complex expression..
We do spend a lot of time thinking but this is how we grow right.....
In childhood i always wonder and ask "how birds fly?" but by now I know there is some biological answer to it and special features wing structure but no longer ask the question because the technology lies in some biological study and I am computer science engineer..... for me wht matters is birds fly and not anymore how they fly...
yes creativity domain shrinks but life span is so small to be creative in all domains :)
