Maturity

Maturity is that wonderful moment when I behave as a calm collected adult instead of as a bratty impetuous angry child. Well... it's a LOT of those moments... all strung together. It's when I make a habit of suppressing the temptation to do the wrong/hurtful/selfish thing to do the right/loving/unselfish thing.
Maturity is a thing that was a l.o.n.g. t.i.m.e. c.o.m.i.n.g. for me. ... and not before I had sufficiently embarrassed myself in public many times. :becky:
My mom always said, maturity is when you realize all thing things your mama told you were right...
I think you never really stop maturing...otherwise once you reach that perfect point in your life, what more have you to learn. I want to keep growing and learning until the day I die...and if that means I dont mature till that day...so be it.

yeah, i was kinda making fun of maturity as something that can be quite forced and too proper.

I have a macro that tracks Monkey usage. This Monkey is used 13% more of the time than any other Monkey! Are you gonna tell him no??
So if a baby is crying, and you don't like it, you inform the baby you don't like it crying?
I am not sure. Probably because I have been told my whole life to be a fucking man and stop being so sensitive.
Or how about stupid things like.. "Turn That frown upside down".
"Why don't you smile more often?"
"You can't feel that,It's wrong"
At some point I believed in duty over my own self
And then things got muddled
So I am saying when I can ignore those voices , be true to myself and still behave like something I can tolerate to look at in the mirror,
I will be mature
OH OH OH!!!
So like my neighbor saw that I was stuck in my driveway this morning and he came over and helped me push my car out which was dug in REALLY well. He didn't want to help overall I am sure, he probably would have rather went inside and watched TV in his warm house.
So if he was mature he would have told me he didn't want to help and went in and watched TV, or simply not said anything. But instead he came and helped push me out, which I am sure wasn't true to his natural wants or desires.
So my neighbor is immature right?

See I am talking about me, and you are talking about your, neighbors? I don't see the connection.
What I do see is that every interaction you have had with me could be construed as a challenge..
You have expressed that you feel I am someone else who has been here before.
You do not seem interested in open discussion about anything with me.
Instead, I feel as though you are simply trying to extract some sort of a reaction out me
Why?
