A mature person knows when to stop arguing. She understands that trying to win arguments with those you love is self-defeating. She respects others’ points of view but goes by her own considered ones. She knows that the journey is to be enjoyed and lived, while the destination is just another place to reach, rest awhile and then move on. She does not indulge in comparisons and is at peace with herself.
A mature person will take responsibility for his own actions rather than blame others. He will take a far-sighted view of things and act in a considered, rather than a spontaneous manner. He understands that he is not the centre of the Universe, and most people do not act to hurt, upset or take revenge on him; they have their own considerations and triggers. He is non-judegemental and learns to accept people as they are and brings change only within himself.
Maturity is more about “the getting of wisdom” than about manners. Although I’d love to think that wisdom and maturity contribute to having good manners, in the suburb in which I live I do find that kids seem to have far better manners and far more concern about their interaction with other people than their parents do - and they actually HAVE apologised to me, on more than one occasion, for what they saw as the deficiencies in their parents’ behaviour.
