I think the Maturity means, it is the ability to think and decide on a discussion or issue for which it will never hurt others and will be positive in response. Maturity is taking the things in cool and not behaving like a childish on a serious discussion. I think nobody is matured fully. Everyone has their own maturity level which many people do not even touch upto it. Many think they are matured but not in actual.

thanks for the sharing..
i would agree with your way of defining maturity, where if i am going to put it in shorter words as to the way i have understood it would be - being sensitive and thoughtful - to be careful with what you say, never be thoughtless that it might hurt anyone not even to those you intend to direct your words.

Maturity does not only pertain to knowing what is right and what is wrong dear. It is all about knowing when to use right rightly, use wrong rightly and when to use right wrongly. You know, you must be wise enough to solve whatever problems and challenges this world could offer. Maturity is all about making sense out of non-sense. And making non-sense if the situation calls for it. To make it comprehensive, maturity is a process when you just have to do a thing, whether its right or wrong, for you to make things the way you want them. Its like driving a car, you should know where to go provided that you know the roads you should take and the turns that you should make.

thanks for the sharing!
being matured then doesn't necessarily mean doing the right thing.
it's like beating the odds when you have to.
and being able to stand responsible for whatever the consequence of your action.
- it's all about knowing where to turn and when to turn and never be bounded by the things surrounding you.

Hi, mfernandezus!
The older I get, the more convinced I am that we are mature when we finally realize we know so very little, no matter how well educated we are. We can learn from everyone and everything we encounter, and a mature person will allow that to happen!

thanks for the reply!
wow! words spoken from a real humble person.
i would say i agree with what that. this time, maturity has been related to wisdom - that a true wise man knows he knows litle or nothing. in this relation also maybe we can say that since you have wisdom then you are aware of yourself and so we can say that being a matured person is also being able to be aware of yourself or who you are.

Hello Mfernandezus! Well researchers say that the brain has finished growing when we're at least 25 yrs old. That said, I dont think it does. I think we really understand things surrounding us when we reach our 30's. Cant explain why but from looking back, thats when I could say that I did understand what was going on around me. Now, I do still find things that I dont understand but its not the same now, I know I can search to find the answers and I also know if I want to find out or not. Some things are important to know, others not.
I know some people who are in their 60's and arent yet mature. It has nothing to do with age, it has to do with how we are.
I dont see anything wrong with an immature 60 yr old. Im thinking he has fun and doesnt know that he shouldnt.

great idea you have in there!
more often than not, we always correlate maturity to age, which if you are going to give a thought about it, should be true.what makes a person mature would be contributed to his/her experiences. also, there's a concept regarding maturity that can also be a new thread stating that women matures faster than men. but before going into that, maybe we need to have a clear answer first with the question, "what is maturity?" or "how would you define maturity?"

Someone mature is someone who has the ability to make choices rationalley knowing the consequence of each choice. Someone mature is someone in tune with life who goes after his or her hapiness in a sensible, smart and brotherley way.

being able to choose the right decision before making one is like a preventive method compared to taking in protection rather than having cured once infected. -"an ounce of prevention is better than a doze of cure"
i acknowledge that being such would make you a intellectual and wise person.but how about, being able to take responsibility whenever you made mistake? would that be not also a basis for calling someone a matured person?
