Yesterday I was assessing this question – what is the important difference between childhood & adulthood?
Most adult people evaluate their mistakes & messes of the past. They try to be a behavioral critic for themselves. Some folks get so used to their mistakes that after some time they forget about it and only think about their achievements (in case if they have any). Some adamant people know that they behaved incorrectly in some situations of the past, but they just can’t set off their ego.
Sadly, I couldn’t extract any of such traits out of child’s psychology. Child psycology is universal. It is uncomplicated.
I therefore concluded that. . . .
Childhood is at times getting wrong and being genuinely sorry or terrified or both for that mistake.
On the other hand adulthood is believing that, it's everyone’s right to sometimes be wrong.

Arjun Deshpande - see my point is a child becomes an adult when he realizes that he has a right not only to be right but also to be wrong. saglyanche clashes, fiskatlelya relationships he baryachda yach karanamule hote.
hmm . . its complicated. :) tu isme mat pad!
ss - ohhhh okkk got it.... as a child u never realise that u r a human and u can make mistakes and that, u r not perfect, coz everybody around them (like their parents, teachers etc) strives to make them perfect so that they survive the competition... but once you grow up u know u r only human and u can screw up.... no problem wid that
Arjun Deshpande - @ SS - Bingo . . ! :-P
Thats the conditions when people call themselves "independent". american double quotes style)
ss - bull......! nobody makes mistakes on purpose....
Arjun Deshpande - Yes but you can't resolve those mistakes at the end of your life, can't you?
So realizing a mistake and still not making a point to resolve it because of ego is not something children do. They live in moment, we adults live in past.
