The innocent child sees adults as faultless superheroes.
Eventually, that innocence is faded into adolescence as the child sees that adults are indeed imperfect.
Next, the adolescent grows into an adult when he forgives the adults for their missteps and imperfections.
Finally, the adult finds a sense of wisdom and peace when he sees his own imperfections and forgives and encourages himself.
If we cannot find it within ourselves to be humble and meek, it will be impossible to pass from the youthful volatility into a more stable peaceful adulthood.
