On Maturity

[mythusmage]

To quote a poster's sig:

Growing old isn't an option. Growing up is.
The worst adults are those who have outgrown their imaginations.

My reply:

False maturity is when you think you're too old to engage in childish activities.

True maturity comes when you realize childish activities are still fun.

I saw that sig in a thread awhile back. It was a great sig!

What about MY sig?

Mature is what you've become when you have failed life and you know it.

Edit: Damn that was delightfully dumb. Some things are more insightful before they are posted.

What's the point in being grown up if you can't act childish once in a while? -- the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker).

Yeah, but what about MY .sig?! Why doesn't anybody start a thread about my .sig?! If somebody doesn't start a thread about my .sig soon I'm going to quit the whole forum!





What was this thread about again?

My favorite was always:
"Children act immature because they are. Adults act immature because they can."

Agreed. Note that there are no age restrictions on this. It annoys me that there are some very young people who try to be too mature by avoiding childish activities. Whereas I am 'younger' than they are.
