Infantilism

No one, but no one has the right to tell you what is the meaning or purpose of life. It should be your own responsibility, nay, your own adventure to discover for yourself such values. There is something feeble, indeed, a little contemptible about the presumption that somebody else (parents as in the case of children), (teachers as in the case of students), (ministers as in the case of followers), and indeed, (God as in the case of adults), has the responsibility to give your life meaning or purpose. Unless, of course, even if as you are already a grown-up man or woman you still wish to keep enjoying infantile pursuits for the rest of your life. Life is hard; but knowing not how to live your own life is not only harder, but useless especially if it is devoid of self-direction stuck with indecision. Poch Suzara
