I suppose Friedrich Wilhelm Froebel is rejoicing in heaven because his ideology for introducing Kindergarten to the world of education is still in existence 200 years later.
“The real world has its limits; the imaginary world is infinite. Unable to enlarge the one, let us restrict the other, for it is from the difference between the two alone that are born all the pains which make us truly unhappy.”
― Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Emile: Or On Education
I believe this quote is true on the basis of childhood and adulthood. In the reality, as children grow and mature, they enter a world that tells or shows them how far they should or can grow. While a child, children are told they can dream big and that they are to attempt to fulfill their dreams. Sometimes it is difficult or solely attainable to achieve goals that are far fetched especially if there is no basis for survival in the real world. Do we as adults feel that we are to put away our dreams because society say it is silly or unattainable?
