"You're only young once, but you can be immature forever." Germaine Greer One way to look at the problems in the world is to ask just how many people properly develop into mature adults. And how many don't, living a sort of permanent adolescence, in what interests them, their hobbies, their views, their finances, their emotional resilience. And how much they use up the world in this inability to know themselves and to just be, endlessly bored and anxious and needing distraction from their own selves.
