There is a time and place for everything

The first shock of any human being is when it first comes into this world.
The first struggle of a person is coming out of the mother's womb.
Of course, the woman pushes the baby out, but the child is also the one who moves and naturally starts to move out, not because he is aware of what he needs to do (maybe or maybe not), but because it is naturally programmed to do so.

As a child, in most cases, parents and the whole family love you (the best way they know and the best way they can), they take care of you, they are there for you when you pee, poo, feel hungry, sleepy, sad, happy... even when your tummy hurts, because you have gas, but you don't know how to let it out. Family is there when you first use the bottle to suck milk, when you first laugh, when you decide to take your first clumsy step or when you say "mama or dada".
All you have to do is eat, sleep, play and grow and these are easy things to do, because they come to you very naturally... you have immediate needs, similar to the ones of a puppy, kitten, or any other cub.

As you grow, frustrations build up inside... due to many factors (society, laws, do's and don't's), but must of all, you begin to gather frustrations because you realize you need to learn what responsibility is.
If you think about it, had any of us lacked responsible parents, we wouldn't have been where we are... I'm sure many of you have lots of negative things to say about your families (I could also write a list of my own), but if you choose for a minute to leave all that aside, you will agree that compared to people who were abused (one way or the other) in their childhood, yours was pretty awesome ! (be honest !)

So, what did our parents learned as individuals, before becoming "mummy" and "daddy" ?
They learned that being a human involves being responsible of your own life and later on... what do you know ?... also being responsible of a new life - a baby.

Many people (myself included) have trouble when it comes to big responsibilities.
And when I talk about responsibilities, I do not mean working, earning some money and spending it or paying a few bills here and there...
The great responsibility is that: when you realize you've done a mistake, the next step should not be "Whom should I contact for help?". The next thought should be: "Why did I end up here? What can I do to fix it?".
If you do not wish to be treated as a child, by your parents/family, even when you reached your mature stage (at least, from age point of view :-P ), you should also act like one, not just begin to claim you have trillions of rights, but zero responsibilities.

There comes a point in your life when your health state, financial state, emotional state, etc. depend only on you and your actions and regardless of what you choose to do with your life, you should understand that if something goes wrong it was also because of your decisions/actions, therefore, you are the only who can and SHOULD fix it.

I learned (recently) that you cannot just theoretically claim you are mature, you should also act accordingly - when I say mature, I refer to: you're the only one to blame if something goes wrong in your life and you should take action and also admit your mistakes to yourself.
I use the word "mistakes" because this is how anyone calls a difficult situation in his/her life.
On a spiritual level, yes, there is no mistake, just experiences we need to go through.

This does not mean you should kill your inner child, but you should know, that if you eat a whole box of chocolates, just because they taste good, you might end up at the hospital.
Your inner child is always greedy and playful 24/7.
Your mature side is the one who is able to balance out things for your own good.
Exterior confirmations of "am I doing it right or wrong?", blaming the others or constantly asking for help from people in matters which really belong to you personally will never make you responsible of your own life. You end up being a burden for people. (I've experienced the feeling and trust me, it sucks !).

There is a time and place for everything and you should explain this to your inner child. :)
