"Don't act kiddish"
"You are a child"
"Grow up dude"
"You are so immature".....and many more.
I am sure most of us would have been at the receiving end of such comments, some as is and some on similar lines, of course I have....
Ironically, the same person who is seen as matured by one would be seen as immature by others. Now where does this stop ? and who takes a call on deciding one's level of maturity. We don't intend to give such rights to all, the freedom which we one can describe the "Me", Thanks to our Ego'sss....
As we chug the train of life, choice has to be made on :
• Are we daring enough to define, rather redefine the path our life has to take ?
• Are we sober enough to accept the "so called practical inabilities" which tend to control our life ?
It is not tough to note that most prefer the latter, but there still a handful of those who drudge along the unknown and see satisfaction in their actions.
Now relating the “way to lead life” to “maturity”, most who pass comments such are the ones who have are supposedly settled in their life (Ah..not financially which for me is never viable).
Personally, I have certain questions to be asked :
• Why is that longing for some one's time for ever mean kiddish ?
• Why is that expectation is always considered childish?
• Why is that feeling terrible for missing something which I would like to part of is termed as "not grown up"?
• Why is that longing for the innocence and sincerity, at age when you are professionals or parents referred to immature ?
Further, each of us would have come across someone from whom we feel, "Yes, you make this observation, I shall consider it, if not necessarily accepting it ". They tend to provoke a thought. They tend make you think..They tend to make you so many things.
Accepting that special person's thought does not mean I should consider other's opinion, Others…
• Who just don't have the courage to face life by insisting on what makes them happy?
• Who are not sincere to call out their unhappiness when someone/something does not live up to what they want, fearing other's thought about being branded as immature?
• Who are unwilling to accept the fact that expectation is a part of life and life is made more beautiful only when you take the privilege of expecting things from your "Loved one's ?
• Who are keen to accept life's practical limitations are the solution for every unaddressed problem?
For me, I don't want to live in a world, where human emotions and values take back seat. I am unwilling to be termed as kiddish, to those willing to give all kinds of reason's only they don’t know I don’t care. I am more than happy to accept the directions of my heart (which may be emotional), when compared to my mind(termed as sensible)
And finally I choose, unlike others where the reason for accepting anything is termed as being mature...
So, if someone terms you kiddish, don't just brush it aside, try to assimilate on who says and why ?
Why should be secondary, but Who determines the seriousness of thought, as that "Who" is more worried about you and needless to say "They Care"
Thanks to all, who termed me so, they enabled me to brush their thought aside.
Only some's thought stays and make me wonder on where I should grow up and outline my growth plans ala our economy...
