Another of the most overlooked yet endearing virtues
is “being immature.” If you think about it, instead of being celebrated as a
virtue, it’s often treated with disdain: “When are you going to grow up
already?” “How immature can you be?” And I can’t help but wonder: Is being
mature really a virtue, while being immature isn’t? Quite the opposite, I’d
argue. Consider a young tree: when it’s just starting out,
its trunk is flexible, smooth, and bursting with bright, appealing colors. But
what happens when it matures? It becomes rigid, rough, and its colors fade to
dull tones. It’s easy to see which stage is more appealing. The same applies to humans. Young children are
spontaneous, innocent, and inspire tenderness, while adults—the so-called
mature ones—often lose those qualities. Just take a look at the politicians
running Spain or any other country for proof. And there’s more: Jesus Christ himself said that to enter
the kingdom of heaven, one must be like a child, famously declaring, “Let the
little children come to me.” So there you have it—one of the greatest virtues a
person can possess is to be immature, eternally immature.

also the lives of everyone around him… “Fleeing into silence”: https://a.co/d/7SUfVb3
