Over the cliff

One of my favorite movies — "Thelma and Louise" — was on last night.  I love that movie!

Once upon a time, I would not have really understood it.  It can only be fully understood by someone who has really lived, by someone who has walked through the fire and survived it, by someone who has lost their innocence for the exchange of maturity.

And speaking of "maturity," many people have a misconception about what "maturity" is.  Maturity is not being "grown up" and knowing how to deal with Life.  Maturity is gained only by having Life deal with you, by having everything in which you believe and everything which you hold dear ripped from you so you are standing, naked, at the edge of The Abyss.  Only then can you claim "maturity."  Only then does "Thelma and Louise" fully make sense.
