Maturity

  I think that maturity is nothing more then having more memories to call upon when you are facing problems? At first, I thought to write this one on the subject of maturity, but then I thought that maybe it would be better if I told you how I came to even think of it? The short answer, is that maturity comes only with experience. The older one gets, the more memories you have to fall back on that are similar to other problems that you have faced before, and that we use these past experiences to understand different situations in life. Younger people have less experience, and because of this, they have not yet become fully mature. But enough about that.
  I spent the day surrounded by little kids at a two year old's birthday party, which made me realize that I may have crossed over to the grumpy old man point of view? Because, I can listen to a screaming guitar with headphones, and yet the high pitched squeal of little kids hurts my ears?
  Gonna wrap this one up, as something a little more interesting has come along? Oh, and later in that same day, I watched A Fistful of Dollars with my grandson, and the kid was totally mesmerized! But in todays world, what with pop tart guns being such a problem, it crossed my mind, that maybe I had led the kid astray, because he had experienced all of that gun play, and that maybe a suspension might be in his future too? He is a smart little lad though, and we enjoyed the movie together! Certainly, this had to be much more important, then worrying over the opinion of some overly politically correct lout!
