A new theory about the psychological maturation process proposes the existence of a template built into the human unconscious that is responsible for overseeing psychological growth.
America grows older yet stays focused on its young. Whatever hill we try to climb, we're 'over' it by fifty and should that hill involve entertainment or athletics we're finished long before.
