I know a fair few people like that. Although most of the people I know do not fit that category.<br /><br />In my experience many young men and women do grow up and become wise. I have the privilege to have in depth conversations with such young men and women.<br /><br />So how is it that some some youngsters become 'grown up' and others do not in the face of a society, that you say does not encourage it?CherryPiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788084724907992076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-69327043252314291132018-02-05T07:25:30.822+11:002018-02-05T07:25:30.822+11:00Interesting comments thread.Interesting comments thread.James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-3288830703574683872018-02-05T03:26:51.672+11:002018-02-05T03:26:51.672+11:00Excellent beat !

More adult that the adults!</em><br /><br />I wasn't actually talking about young people. I was talking about people who never ever grow up. People who reach their 50s and they're still adolescents. Some people are completely grown-up at the age of 20. Some don't grow up until 40. Some don't grow up at all.<br /><br />We live in a society that doesn't encourage people to grow up. In the kind of sane society that we used to have it was possible for an ordinary man to earn enough money to support a wife and several children. Now that's virtually impossible. In a sane society it made sense for a man to focus on being a family man. Now we have quick and easy divorce so you not only lose your family, you get taken to the cleaners and you lose everything.<br /><br />So there's no incentive for men to grow up.<br /><br />Women expect to be provided with nice safe comfy jobs where they get to have lots of meetings and if they produce an illegitimate child the government will support them. So there's no incentive for women to grow up.dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-36022582198952219382018-02-04T14:27:36.333+11:002018-02-04T14:27:36.333+11:00The 'reward' that a man can expect is a ma...The 'reward' that a man can expect is a maturing of spirit.

Growing up is something people don't do any more. They think life should be like the movies and they think marriage is all about romance, hot sex, glamour and excitement. They don't want to know about stuff like responsibility and duty.<br /><br />People in their 40s are still behaving like adolescents, and then wondering why their lives are chaotic messes.<br /><br />To me one of the key things about a gentleman is that he knows his duty and he accepts it.dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.com
