The first time you see me, assume that I am mature. It just makes things much more easier. It gives you a lot more credibility n respect with me.
‘I’ is metaphorical. Repeat this with everyone you come across, you will gain respect and credibility from everyone. That is the way we should be dealing with people, no matter who they are. The moment you assume a person is mature, you bring honesty into the interaction. The most basic and most significant lineament of a relationship or interaction.
Usually, it is the other way round. We associate piffling relevance to the other person’s maturity. We undertake to be either condescending or subversive to people. It is just not the right approach.
I have been guilty of upstaging my rationale and stoop to doing things I precisely advocated above.
I am conscientiously trying to change the way I make assumptions about others.
Here’s to Maturity and Honesty. May they grow and spread their charm all around.
Hick.. Hicckkkk…

How many pegs were down when this was written? (Note that the passive voice helps avoid the metaphorical “I” and imparts respect to all parties concerned.)
