You're right it keeps getting longer and longer, especially for men, carrying right into marriage. We were talking about culture yesterday, culture conspires to keep all males in a state of adolescence, which results in things like the crisis of fatherhood and the destruction of the family for which we are all paying a high price.Dcn Scott Dodgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09994604395739905637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254272216866737058.post-59956263487474628282011-06-08T09:29:11.503-06:002011-06-08T09:29:11.503-06:00Boy, is that quote true:

It’s to lose yourself".<br /><br />It has been observed, by many people, that young adults are maturing at a later age than before. Many young twenty-something's often don't get their priorities straight and pursue direction in life until close to 30 or their early 30's. I think this is observed in seeing that many are marrying later than before, even 50-60 years ago. it's all about finding one's self. I can even see this, in certain ways, in my own life during my 20's where i didn't as much direction as i should have. I wonder how much of a factor idleness and our relative wealth plays in this. We can afford to waste time nowadays because we live in a wealthy and advanced society. Young adults couldn't say that even 100 years ago when it was imperative to work at an earlier age.<br /><br />We most certainly find our self when we lose our self. I found this realization myself in both my marriage as well as becoming a parent.<br /><br />Not sure if this makes any sense. My thoughts are kind of scattered.Dan S.noreply@blogger.com
