Posted : 20 Oct, 2020 04:06 PM I see an elephant in the room, the perspective of 18 is a cultural one, not a biblical one, bar mitzvah, bat mitzvah, 12-13, or puberty, that was when you were expected to work and ready yourself for marriage, ie build a house, which would take at least a year if you were strong, quick, had a good teacher, no famine, no family tragedies, no weddings to prep for...so usually 2 years, done by about 14-15 years old, you had to know how to build, repair and maintain....no building on credit then, save up or make it....by the time you were done, an approved workmen, all could see....and your marriage? probably arranged; love matches, they are a new thing for the most...sometimes even betrothed upon birth...sometimes before, "my first born son, I am due to get married, come let us make family ties!", so you see, when we look back in history or at other cultures, what we see as normal is not normailty, just a different society with different needs, with people growing up into adulthood at different rates, to them, we are very strange and child like...to us they grow quick and have no child hood, who is right or wrong? unfortunately we are blinded by our cultural norms...and even those can change within the span of our life... in England at the age of seven you were sent out to work, that changed about 100 years ago, when I was a child, you could marry at 14, it was extremely rare, every society has it's norms...at 16 can vote, at 18 can drink, at 21 join a casino.....legally you just become a little more "Adult". In reality you start to become an adult at the age of reason, about 7 or so, you begin to understand right from wrong, you begin to understand complex thought......all of a sudden, hard questions for mum and dad...yup you know they are growing up, they are adult in their thought, not able to fend for themselves yet, but they can think for themselves, so you ready them to go out the door...usually...18-21...cos school...hmmm...kids are a costly lot...shoulda sent em out to the field....to work... We are in a western culture, the world is different in it's views of "AdultHood", it depends on whether a nation is small or large, if small...all hands on deck, if large? a little leisure instead, that is why in the west most people don't become adults until their 30's...if you live in the hills of afghanistan, or some "poor" rural backwater, becoming a man or woman is much younger than the in west, to feed a child and till a field is hard indeed, soon enough the child is at work in the field, by the time they hit 16, they are farmers, not average farmers, but the kind that can feed their families in the harshest of climates. The question for me, is why do we allow our children to grow up unable to reason? for without reason, we remain a child. My own personal perspective, is that most under 30's are still children, emotionally, in their reasoning, in their understanding of the world, understanding takes time, it is bought through trials, so if you only start work at 21, how long before you can have an understanding of the world of men? it usually takes 10 years...if you are quick, strong, have a good teacher.... The answer...ban video games and the internet for all under 21.....let them learn about reality imstead of remaining without reason in a virtual world....they'll be 50 before they grow up... We the so called adults are responsible for the mess of emotionally fraught teenagers and twenty somethings that can't even connect with adult society without them feeling we have hurt their poor feelings...no reason...you are an adult when you can reason....so...a child until 30....biblically speaking I'm a good 18 years off...but then...I look outside my front door and think different...of course...I find quite a few exceptions to the rule..but still, it seems about right.
