Western society and happiness (serious stuff)

[MangaD]

Beside ignoring the fact that we often can't do what we want to do, we are continuously being corrected by parents and teachers. While sometimes correction can be good, it very often isn't. Very often, things that actually aren't wrong, are being corrected, and therefore it kills people's creativity.

I disagree with this severely. Children are too ignorant and naive to know what is best for themselves. "I want to be an astronaut", "I want to be a princess". Parents and teachers know better. What children want changes all the time as they acquire new knowledge. Correction is not bad, on the contrary, it is necessary. I also don't see how this is linked to creativity, and how creativity is linked to happiness. Children are often happy (depends) because they are unaware of the negativity in the world and ignore the meaning of their life. Adults are often unhappy for a variety of reasons: sense of purpose, loneliness, negativity, work, health, etc.
