Maturity is in the state of mind...

mature and immature...

What characteristics defines it???...How could a person be define as matured...
Maturity has always been link with responsibility... if someone is responsible and knows his responsibility... does it mean that the person is already matured?... or does maturity has somethhing to do with age???

The older your get the.. the waiser you'll be... I guest that there is some logic to the statement that maturity comes with age... because age goes with time... over a particular period of time... many situations had been faced in life.. many decisions, many actions, had been taken to overcome a problem.. or to achive certain goal in life.... it doesn't matter is the decisions or actions taken is wrong...

but I wouldn't agree a 100% on the statement... because i've seen and mingle with people older then me... much older... and i can see that they can be childish at times... and for some... they are childish all the time... even so.. they still know their responsibility to themselves and their families... so does being childish considered as immature???

what exactly defined us as being mature and immature? I don't know about you... but to me... people will reach their maturity state... when the time comes... it doesn;t need someone to be older... life experiance can make someone mature faster then their age... and older people are matured.. but they sometimes chose to be childish and immature just to run away from the hustle and tustle of responsibility...

When the time comes... and they are strong enough to take on the responsibility... they'll get back to be matured individuals....

So my conclusion would be maturity is in the state of mind...
