[Quote No.65828] Need Area: Friends > Children
"One has to spend so many years in learning [the life-skill of] how to be happy. I am just beginning to make some progress in the science... Every year strips us of at least one vain expectation, and teaches us to reckon some solid good in its stead. I never will believe that our youngest days are our happiest. What a miserable augury for the progress of the race and the destination of the individual if the more matured and enlightened state is the less happy one! Childhood is only the beautiful and happy time in contemplation and retrospect: to the child it is full of [lack of individual freedoms and] deep sorrows, the meaning of which is unknown...we shall be happier when we are forty than we are now, which I call a comfortable doctrine, and one worth trying to believe [and achieve]!" - George Eliot
(1819 - 1880), George Eliot was the pen-name of Mary Ann Evans. She was an English novelist, poet, journalist, translator and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. This quote is from a letter she wrote, at age 25, to her dear friend Sara Hennell, found in 'George Eliot's Life, as Related in her Letters and Journals'.

[Quote No.66722] Need Area: Friends > Children
"[Legal individual freedom and personal responsibility:]
Age of majority:
The age of majority is the threshold of adulthood as recognized or declared in law. It is the moment when minors cease to be considered such and assume legal control over their persons, actions, and decisions, thus terminating the control and legal responsibilities of their parents or guardian over them. Most countries set the age of majority at 18, but some jurisdictions have a higher age and others lower. ...The law in a given jurisdiction may not actually use the term 'age of majority'. The term typically refers to a collection of laws bestowing the status of adulthood.
Age of majority should not be confused with the age of sexual consent, marriageable age, school-leaving age, drinking age, driving age, voting age, smoking age, gambling age, etc., which each may be independent of and set at a different age from the age of majority.
...Age of majority pertains solely to the acquisition of the legal control over one's person, decisions and actions, and the correlative termination of the legal authority of the parents (or guardian(s), in lieu of parent(s)) over the child's person and affairs generally.
[Refer also: (1) 'in loco parentis' - which is Latin for 'in the place of a parent' and refers to the legal responsibility of a person or organization to take on some of the functions and responsibilities of a parent. Originally derived from English common law, it is applied in two separate areas of the law.
First, it allows institutions such as colleges and schools to act in the best interests of the students as they see fit, although not allowing what would be considered violations of the students' civil liberties.
Second, this doctrine can provide a non-biological parent to be given the legal rights and responsibilities of a biological parent if they have held themselves out as the parent.
The in loco parentis doctrine is distinct from the doctrine of parens patriae, the psychological parent doctrine, and adoption; and
(2) 'parens patriae' - which is Latin for 'parent of the nation' (lit., 'parent of the fatherland'). In law, it refers to the public policy power of the state to intervene against an abusive or negligent parent, legal guardian, or informal caretaker, and to act as the parent of any child or individual who is in need of protection. For example, some children, incapacitated individuals, and disabled individuals lack parents who are able and willing to render adequate care, thus requiring state intervention.]" - Wikipedia.org

[Quote No.67072] Need Area: Friends > Children
"[There is a rationale to 'Parental Duty of Care', 'Age of Consent', 'Age of Suffrage', 'Driving Age', 'Age of Adult Legal Responsibility', etc., legislation:]
Whereas young people become accomplished in geometry and mathematics, and wise within these limits, prudent young people do not seem to be found. The reason is that prudence is concerned with particulars as well as universals, and particulars become known from experience, but a young person lacks experience, since some length of time is needed to produce it." - Aristotle

[Quote No.67417] Need Area: Friends > Children
"[Life stages and aging:-]
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players,
They have their exits and entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier.
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide,
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again towards the childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
" - William Shakespeare
'As You Like It', Act II, Scene VII.

"[Psychiatrist Robert Waldinger is currently the director of a 75-year-old study on adult development - one of the longest studies of adult life. The Harvard Study of Adult Development has tracked the lives of over 700 people and monitored their physical and mental health, their work lives, their friendships, and their romances. Here's what Waldinger says they've learned:--] ...And we know that you can be lonely in a crowd and you can be lonely in a marriage, so the second big lesson that we learned is that it's not just the number of friends you have, and it's not whether or not you're in a committed relationship, but it's the quality of your close relationships that matters.’" - Robert Waldinger
