Re: Maturity : A Profile ?
***Would you say a mature person listens to reason ,or a general consensus ***instead of insisting their version is the right one …
NO WAY! Marriage and parenthood even…are not the yardsticks for maturity. Marriage and parenting REQUIRE maturity, but that does not necessarily mean the individual possesses the attribute. Requiring maturity…and actually having maturity are two different things.
I’ve seen adolescents who are more mature than married adults.
I think that society links maturity to being an “adult” because of the concept of AGE. Young children, for example, don’t have the reasoning abilities nor the emotional intelligence to see all angles of an issue before making an informed decision. They’re naive because their experiences are so few and limited.
The older you grow…the more life experiences you gain…especially negative experiences (such as consequences for hurting others, being careless, losing control, breaking rules, etc). Society, in general, expects that your increased experiences would provide you with greater life lessons…hence adulthood is linked with maturity. Although that’s not always the case.
Opinions regarding what is maturity will vary from person to person and even culture to culture. I guess my personal opinion is that a mature individual is one whose attitude, words, and especially ACTIONS reflect not only responsibility/logic…but also the wellfare of the individual and others. This would even include the ability to make amends after realizing mistakes.
At the same time, since too much of anything can be harmful, a mature individual should have a sense of balance…being able to joke around, goof off, be lenient, and have compassion…within reason.

a mature person is patient, perceptive, empathatic, reasonable, logical and definitely does not ALWAYS go by the “general consensus” if he/she did..everyone would still be believing that the Earth is flat

Sometimes maturity lies in accepting you're wrong !
Re: Maturity : A Profile ?
yaar i dont even know what is maturity, as all my elders (mainly dad) and my EX(used to ask) always ask me " key DANI tum mature kab hogay" and i think the only problem with me is i am a lil laid back in other things in my life other than work, i work hard and that is apparently the only thing i am good at other than that i still live life like a teenager.
Re: Maturity : A Profile ?
The Only Parameter I would measure some one's or mine Maturity would be BALANCE.
in all respect of life or an individual.
A person who have grown in a backward societies , have little exposure to knowledgfull gatherings, people or say instituions would apparantly termed imature in contrast of a person grown in Developed socities with more knowledgfull getherings etc.
For teenagers selected randomly out the socities of different cultures of the same age for checking their maturity on the same set of excercises would obviously show different results because of the cultural backgrounds.
Balance would be taken an absolute parameter and it will gauge a person maturity in the sets of his background , culture , knowledge , age expenctency , exposure to the world and happenings around the globe etc.
Sometimes maturity lies in accepting you're wrong !
lies can be deceiving...
truth is self-evident ..a perceptive person will know that.
hence maturity does not declare rights and wrongs...but looks for the truth in the wrong .
Re: Maturity : A Profile ?
Maturity is not just about the way a person talks or behaves in normal situations. Mostly it's about how the person REACTS to different challenging situations. When a person learns to use his brain under extreme situation and doesn't exhibit an emotional response then it mean that the person has matured.
Re: Maturity : A Profile ?
awesome thread…i always wanted to know how you assess someone’s maturity, just never got the idea of questioning someone:bummer:…but am quite mature:@:
Re: Maturity : A Profile ?
imho ... a mature person listens more than he talks ... does not judge people and knows when to say no without hurting somone else's feelings. As a wise person once said " growing old is mandatory ... growing up is optional"
A mature will listen to all the arguments and reasons and than analyze them in his brain. But once decided what is right and what is not . . . then he should stick to it.
