"Here’s the thing about acting like a child: children have no power.
They’re smaller than almost everything else in their environment, they lack the skill and the experience required to manipulate the world around themselves successfully, and the majority of children haven’t developed the empathy required to see beyond themselves. Everything is “me” oriented and they don’t possess the maturity required to take responsibility for the consequences of their own actions, decisions, and choices. Adults who act like children do so for the same reasons. Passive aggressive guerrilla style behaviour, petty and spiteful vandalism, temper tantrums thrown where no one can see because it’s terrifying to get called out for bad choices – this isn’t adult behaviour. This is the way children act to compensate for the lack of social power they possess. It’s behaviour specifically designed to try to force a reaction and to bring other people down to their level, which would theoretically level the playing field. If children cannot be adults but can make adults act like children, it gives the child the power to socially manipulate their environment through that adult. It’s an underhanded way to make a grab for power."
This behaviour is extremely pathetic ....
