About Childishness

I see a lot of adult children, childish

I asked myself

what is childishness?

 

(I wrote about maturity previously: “About maturity”)

 

A childish child:

-doesn’t have responsibilities

-lacks experience

-lacks self-awareness

(I suppose it’s a function of lacking experience)

-doesn’t “fit in”

(which is neither innately good nor bad. There is “good abnormal” and “bad abnormal”)

-and is plain less intelligent

 

What are the consequences?

The consequences are — you die in the wild

The consequences are — you cry without your toys

You can’t endure trouble

And you can’t CREATE your life — you can only enjoy it

 

I see a lot of children

You have something childish in you and you’re not even aware of it

Just like you’re not aware what it is that characterises CHILDISHNESS

well now you know

 

You don’t proactively strive to:

-to take more responsibility

-to have more and more experiences, be lustful for experiences and lustful for life

-to ask others what they want, to fit in with the wishes and desires of others — so that they can in return accommodate your wishes and desires

-to build your network

-to understand others

-and to be more intelligent, to be more wise

 

Now you know
