Okay, I jotted this idea down, and didn’t link myself to an example, so I only half-remember what I wanted to say haha.
But it’s interesting sometimes to see the (general) difference between parents posting videos of their kids doing things vs adult-age people doing things.
Now, there are some wholesome videos of people cheering on adults who aren’t good at things. And there are some videos of children trying things and getting ridiculed.
But in general, it seems like we cheer on children even when they’re not good dancers, good cooks, etc. And we’re generally quick to make fun of adults.
Of course, adults have had more time to learn things. But no one knows everything. And we should preferably spend our whole lives trying new things!
And what if we met adults who’d never cooked with the same innocence and enthusiasm as we do a child?
I wonder if that would make people more open to new experiences, sharing things, and making connections.
I like it!
Perhaps it depends on the attitude of the person doing the activity, though. Like are they trying something new, or are they acting like they totally got this?
Haha good question. I’m assuming they’re trying something totally new and not having hubris about it haha
