Summary

This quote suggests that children are often more inclined towards fantasy because their imaginations are still untainted by the harsh realities of life. Unlike adults who may have encountered disappointments and setbacks, children are free to indulge in uninhibited imaginative play. Their minds have not been limited or dulled by the constraints of the real world, allowing them to effortlessly create and explore fantastic realms. This quote highlights the importance of preserving and nurturing the innate creativity and imagination that children possess before it is dampened by the weight of life's experiences.
