It seems this page is one of the most frequently visited on TuscanyCircle by web searchers (e.g., Googlers, Yahoo-ers, etc.). People must really be interested in emotional maturity these days. In a way, I suppose that should be an encouraging sign. What would be more interesting, though, is knowing what people are taking away from TuscanyCircle. Are they truly seeking emotional maturity? Or are they merely looking for affirmation, evidence showing how they're more emotionally mature than their peers?

Maturity of any kind never comes automatically or easily. It must be earned, and it takes great effort, consistently applied thereafter. Frankly, I don't see most people making the effort. Our inquiring visitors, though, are certainly not "most people". I wonder if these seekers later set out to grow up emotionally, forsaking childish ways, setting specific goals for themselves, and making whatever effort is required for maturity.

On other hand, visitors may just think we're crackpots and glibly dismiss TuscanyCircle.
