MATURATION
REFLECTION ON MATURATION
Along with breathing, drinking and eating, expelling, walking, entertaining, talking, clothing, hygiene, shelter, family, friends as basic needs, one is able to grow into one's integral group cycle of socialization, education, protection, production, harvest, reproduction.
To carry this out, land is desirable , one's own land, on which one can breathe fresh air, drink clean water, eat wholesome foods, have privacy in bodily needs; bathe, live in one's own house with one's own family, playing with nearby friends in peace of body, mind, spirit.
Thereby one is able to grow up straight , strong, righteous, well-nourished, balanced, mentally, socially, while learning-teaching skills, lessons, knowledge about self, family , society, one's place to each other, requisite to occupying positions of mature leadership in society, productively, protectively, proactively. Upon maturity and with sufficient security, one marries and repeats the process into perpetuity.
