Purpose And Maturity

The purpose of life is to fight maturity – Dick Werthimer

Being a quote lover, the above one-liner somehow keeps popping into my head. After reflecting upon why it auto-magically keeps manifesting within the consciousness that is “me“, I think I’ve figured out why. It’s because I don’t have to “fight” to stay immature. I’ve been blessed (cursed?) with an uncanny talent for remaining immature without having to expend any energy whatsoever. How do I know this? Because people tell me. D’oh!

What about you, what’s your story? Are you prim and proper at all times; a paragon of virtue and impeccable integrity; a shining example for the world to emulate? If so, then why – and doesn’t it sap the life  out of you like Mr. Werthimer suggests?

    All people should aspire to higher things, and challenge themselves to get there. No of us get as far as we want, but the effort keeps us alive.

      Nuthin’ wrong with that.

      I aspire to make it to the top of Maslow’s pyramid – “self-actualization”. How about you? What do you aspire to do?
