That\u2019s why we always idealize childhood as a playful territory, where the only existing colors are the primary ones, and the only shapes are the triangle, the circle and the square. A simple world full of endless possibilities.<\/p>\n<p>However, the playground I remember was destroyed by an explosion in the underground parking lot beneath it. And while that is unfortunate, it is for me a more accurate vision of the \u201cland of children\u201d: it lies in ruins, everything is gray and faded, and no one remembers the last time children played there.<\/p>\n<p>Childhood is the key to identity.
