I was observing how maturity was aplied here on this forum. I've noticed that when an opposing arguement arises the other person gets offended. Personally I got called a dork on my rep, and a few days latter I was the sweetest thing, all this from the same person.
Maturity does not mean age, there are plenty of adults who are not mature. To me maturity does not mean not having fun, but it does mean not having fun at other peoples' expense. As a mature adult you take responsibility for your actions and your words. It also mean accepting that sometimes you can be wrong, without loosing it (you know what I mean 'anger management').
To me maturity is about awareness. When you are young, you just do as you please, you "pursue your own line", so to say, and don't really look around. But as the time goes, as you gain experience, as you get older, you start getting more and more aware or yourself, of what and who you are, of what the world around you really is, and of the way it is run. You start to realize that there are things that you really can't change, and you start to attempt to get along with them, at the same time preserving your own individuality and the uniqueness of your personality. You start to see your own limits, and to make the best of what you can do within them. When we are young, we often feel that so many people owe us so much, and are supposed to do so many things for us. As we mature, as the degree of our awareness increases, we start to see our own responsibilities concerning other people, concerning the society and the world that we live in, and the responsibility no longer scares us, it comes as something natural. This is what I call maturity. It doesn't exclude having fun when you can, or being a fun person, pr being a little irresponsible or disorganized when you can afford - in fact, it is quite nice to give yourself a break, and to send your mature self on a holiday, once in a while :lol: it's just about setting the right prerogatives, and being serious when it is required, and being fun and childlike when you can.
