When does 'age ' show ?
Published on June 5, 2004 By maria_limonada In Philosophy
How long does it take for a person to get enough courage to stand up to the world and announce in a loud and clear, yet whisper that he is a grown up ? And what exactly does it mean -being grown up ? Being on your own ? Getting others to listen to what you say and actually think about it ?Paying more for a bus ticket ?
So many times we have to take grown up decisions about childish matters and suffer 'troublesome teenage' circumstances and endure through lavish criticism of more experienced and higly advanced senior minds .
And all this time nobody bothers to ask about the actual age !

I realized I was grown up when I no longer asked this question.

right around the time that you begin to appreciate (as opposed to endure) the advice (no longer seen as lavish criticism) you receive from more experienced minds
