> Why do children seem to be having innocent fun until puberty sets in after which the now-adult human forgets all about that childhood joie de vivre
Because it is the typical path of being a human being. If adults were going around having innocent fun after puberty there wouldn't be human beings now.
> (a pathetic cocktail of joy and hurt) centered on love?
It is different and personal of course. But I wouldn't want to live a life that didn't have that. It would boring and un-exciting.

Not all is lost ;-) you can still find that when you have your own children! When I play with my kid, I am a kid again. We make paper airplanes, play with dolls, play tag and so on.
And I belive you get one more chance, when your children have their children!
I think depending on the perspective life can be very exciting (but even writing that in words sounds trite and boring).
