To begin; let me thank you for your follow up.

Life for me is about growing through stages. We begin with those from birth
in infency age 1 to 3 and then from 3 to 6 we grow out of our relationshps
with family into our 6 to 9 relationship with school mates and friends out side of family.

From about 9 to 12 our growth really takes off, and we begin a new idenity.
The teen age years seem to begin with a lot of unanswer questions. So we seek more and better understanding.

A little wisdom seems to come from our 12 to 15 ages, but it is only from 15 to 18 that we seem to seek more freedom and have more responsibility for out thoughts, behavior, conduct and actions.

I need not tell you about from 15 to 18 because one nears the end of their
school days of group education, and begins to teach more than learn about the world, thenselves, and others.

From 18 to 21, the world begins to treat you as a young adult. This when I became a husband and a father. Lots of things and labels I was called. And I had to find which of the shoes fit my foot or me. (smiles)

Griwing from boyhood to manhood, seems what it is all about. And I will need another post to go into that.
