But as we get older we discover that they are not as enamouring or pleasant as we once thought, and we begin to discard them. The reason is that they are superficial and empty. They lack depth. When we are young we cannot see them for what they are. Our vision is limited, and our eyes one-dimensional.
Maturity brings with it a penetrating gaze and the ability to see into the heart of every matter.
We discard our toys and we begin to enjoy things which are far more meaningful. One of the most telling ways in which this development can be measured is the fact that when children are young they are often more interested in their toys than they are in sharing them with other children. Parents must insist on their sharing their toys. But as we get older, we learn to appreciate the most important thing of all, that is people, and we no longer enjoy doing things on our own. We search instead to share life's experiences with someone else.
