Ok, so it's communication-biased again, but here it is. I thought I'd give a few quotes (I'll try not to use ones I know y'all have read in my profiles, etc.) and have you pick the one you either agree OR disagree with the most. Of course, I do prefer that you say why. Have at it

i can make a case for disagreeing or agreeing with all of them.
with statements like these i rarely have a strong reaction one way or the other. at least initially.

i will choose the third one for disagreeing with.
"when i was a child, i spoke as a child, but now that i am grown i have put away childish things..." (heidi's paraphrase of some passage in the Bible i am sure you are familiar with.)

some "childish" things are ok, like being trusting, and stopping to smell the daisies, blowing bubbles, innocence, you get the picture.
but if it's acting childish in a negative way, like petty or jealous or immature, i say stop making excuses and grow up.

agree or disagree

If I had to choose, I would say number three.
It is ok to be young at heart but we need to remember that a child is immature. Immaturity leads to mis-judgement, hurt feelings, reprocussions and consequences. As we all must learn from those, it is not ok to repeat them lest you never grow up. You must learn from the past (childhood) to prepare for the future. We can still though be young at heart, enjoy simple moments, and wonder and question so we can futher our knowledge. Who wants to be old and feel old?
