Maturity and Responsibility

“Maturity has nothing to do with age. You can be just as immature at the age of 55 as you were at 25, especially if you never learn anything about assuming responsibility.  No one should have to remind you to assume your responsibilities; and if for some reason you can’t, at least be mature enough to face it.  Avoidance is nothing more than burying your head in the sand and pretending that the problem does not exist.” (Excerpt from The Deception of Spiritual Leadership)
