Grown Ups

It turns out that some people never actually grow up. Yes, we all get old but 'old' does not automatically make one mature. I think it's because human beings are selfish and growing up takes work. We all start out thinking that we will just become mature and wise one day, as a reward for living to an older age. But, NO, that is not how it works. Often times the tattle tale, fit thrower and spoiled brat turn out to be just older versions of their juvenile selves. It takes a lot of work to grow into an unselfish, calm and meek person. Knowing this, I will never stop working at it.
