Or, at the very least, the person is much more capable at reaching such an equilibrium.

I'm kind of basing this off myself - but every abstract theory is subjective, at first - I have noticed myself increasingly breaking apart; that is, becoming too specific to enjoy the big picture... and can then see society at large, how some end up with depression etc. like me and others, in a (possible) attempt to become more holistic (which I've admittedly resisted for rational reasons) end up overly religious (some children may be like that due to their family, but surely that's not enough to destabilize them, and with little time may again begin to sort their mind out).

I'm just trying to make sense of the distinction between child/adulthood, because in my case (at least) it was extremely distinctive.

Is it possible to translate this into English?

Sigh. This is why I don't normally share my craziest theories. Surely you know the difference between seeing the big picture and being specific?

1) I wouldnt be snarky like that to the one and only WP memeber who even deigned to respond to your post!
Lol!

2) If all that barrage of highfalutin jargon you made- was only to convey something THAT simple-then why didnt you say it in those simple terms in the first place? Why use jargon. Its not even normal jargon from psychology. I cant even figure which dialect of goobildygook you got that verbiage from.

By the way: it helps to use examples - to make what your saying concrete.


3) "Seeing the big picture" and "being specific" are not opposed things.


4) The answer to you question is "no". Sometimes adults are focused on the big picture, and sometimes have tunnelvision. And sometimes children are focused on the big picture, and sometimes children have tunnelvision and are focused on one thing. you're theory about the difference between the two stages of life doesnt work.


5) Next question.


6) If you're gonna to post theories that even you yourself admit are "crazy" its up to you to engage us-not the other way around.
