"Maturity"

"Maturity", sometime is marked not by age, but the growth of prejudice.

  1. One of the reservations I had as a child about "growing up." Developing a dogmatic rather than open-minded approach to life. In short, having to pretend to be someone with answers rather than questions.

  3. I would tend to disagree, in that I think real 'maturity' is the decline of prejudice.

  4. PD, you are right. I was talking about the fake maturity.

  5. Yun yi, as I said on Blog Catalogue, this reminds me of old battles with mother and father, forever saying that I would grow out of some notion or other I had once I had ‘matured’ a little more. Maturity, I responded, is just another name for your condescension and conceit. I was a terrible teen. I hope I never have a daughter quite like me. :-)
