Most people I know have circumstances in their lives that call for great maturity, self-observation, responsibility and wisdom in order to resolve their current difficult situations. Challenges in our daily lives, and for so many others in every part of the planet have never been so extreme as they are at this present time.
Adults who have not transitioned into maturity - the man-boy is not yet a man and is no longer a boy. I have coined the equal term woman-girl for the female who is not yet a woman yet no longer a girl.
There are many reasons for the prevalence of the man-boy and woman-girl in society that you may wish to consider - some obvious, others less so. The journey into adult maturity, wholeness, self-knowledge, wise one and sage is for another blog.
A Brief List of Some Likely Characteristics of the Man-Boy and Woman-Girl
Man-Boy and Woman-Girl in Leadership in Politics, Religion, and Business
As we examine those in leadership of many (most?) of the world’s countries we see that more often than not that those in the ruling inner circles fall into the categories of man-boy and woman-girl, having not yet reached full maturity as evidenced by their lack of compassion, humanity, wisdom, and personal awareness. Political leadership around the world is awash with nepotism, corruption, ego-gratification, rivalry, hostility, sexual harassment, and even murder.

As I write this Donald Trump has recently ordered the firing of 59 cruise missiles at a military target in Homs, Syria in so-called retaliation for what he and the US military say is Bashar al-Assad regime’s use of chemical weapons against their own civilians. This has the stench of the Cheney- Bush-Rumsfeld-Blair-Howard 2003 invasion of Iraq all over it.
In truth the US thrives on war and it’s spoils of resources, oil, minerals, and sales of weapons and the paraphernalia of warfare. They have no problem with sending healthy and wonderful men and women to carry out their murderous orders, then often neglect them when they return home emotionally, mentally and physically wrecked.
No-one else can grow the man-boy or woman-girl up.
They have to have the readiness and desire to do that themselves.
