Maturity

People have different thoughts about what maturity really defines. Some people say that maturity is not regulated by the calendar, and indeed it is really not. When I was going to an art exhibition couple weeks ago, I heard a writer said that maturity comes when a person can be completely who he is in front of his society. Hmmm, not too specific as what I expected, though. It is hard somehow to know exactly or to generally conclude what people think about maturity. Sometimes, people whom I thought they have been mature enough, they suddenly acted out of my sense, and think irrationally. The truth is, no one I think grown up completely and perfectly mature. A person says we are mature in one realm but childish in another. Remember about theory of two sides in everything. Positive and negative, black and white, up and down, good and bad, etc.

To me, being a mature person is about how we make constructive ideas inside of mind based on reality. Maturity is somewhat about facing the real situation with real common sense to have the idea how to solve it, and of course serious about that. It is also added by controlling emotion so nothing like terrible things happen or make people having cold war between each other. Because to me, maturity forces us to beat our ego. That is also thing which differentiates them with teenagers. Once you decide something in your life, you gotta be serious and stable about it.  That's why sometimes maturity is friend with consistency.

In life. people commonly demand about stuffs more than they need. I have just watched a documentary video about climate change and as a final thought, it says we have to start changing what we want into what nature can safely provide us. Hidden idea here is about being able to conditioning life based on reality. I agree with some quotes saying that maturity is about understanding the situation and understanding about small things. Yeah maybe in my words, it could be defined as understanding and accepting whatever happens in our life. Furthermore, a mature person always conduct the action which is acceptable to the major of society both ethically and morally.

Yes, we are not supposed to define maturity from only one aspect. It contains of many related points which I am actually still trying to figure out and learn more. The hell part is back again to realize that maturity is a subjective topic. A judgement which has to be adjusted based on what each person thinks.


What is maturity to you?
