What is maturity?

Maturity is not measured by age, it is an attitude built by several years of experience.    Matured people are emotionally and financially independent; they will not seek comfort on others.  They embrace solitude as well as changes that are inevitable in everyone’s life.  They accept people and their opinions as they are; they are willing to accept the individual differences gracefully.  They are free to think and act, they do not like any kind of emotional dependence, or opinions taking away their freedom.  They make sure all are getting fair treatment; they strongly condemn people who take away somebody’s freedom, or any kind of mistreatment.  They won’t let anyone tarnish their self-respect.  They take complete control over the situation if needed, they do their responsibility very well, they do not blame anyone for their flaws, and they take complete responsibility for their mistakes and quickly find ways to correct it.  They do a lot of listening and less talking, seldom they do over-talking.  They are honest people; they do not take advantage of people or manipulate others for their personal gain.  They often engage in deep significant talks about life and nature, with a great sense of curiosity and wonder.  They do not cling on to people or thing which does not bring any productivity, they are not afraid of leaving them behind.  They do not chase people or material things for their happiness; they know that happiness is within them.  They are genuine people, forgiving nature and good peacemakers.  These people cherish their family and relationships, they manage family finance very well, and they know how to keep their secrets intact.  They always think several times before putting into action, they do not hurt people.  They do not attempt to oppress or impress anyone, they are aware of the fact that both will not work for long time.  They always stay away from conflicts and arguments, and keep a class of their own.  They take criticism for their personal growth; they do not hesitate to apologize for their mistakes.  They know how to keep their personal matters within them, they do not publicize.   They do not spend their good energy in changing people; instead they focus on personal growth.  They keep limited expectations and if anything goes wrong, they do not react miserably.  They do not compare themselves with others, they respect everyone’s uniqueness.  They know the differences of ‘want’ and ‘need’, they often let go their wants.  They do not engage in destructive criticism, they are disciplined and well   organized in their lives.  They will have great sense of adaptability.
