What Is Maturity?

What is maturity?

What is maturity? It is a phrase people like to throw around, but I never really get a sense that people really know what it means. I myself can't really put my finger on it.

@SFRL It's the opposite of childishness.

Children are impulsive, selfish, myopic, impractical, ungrateful, and manipulative.

I've wondered about this question myself.

Maturity is the ability to see things from a big picture, with a long term view, and to make decisions in line with this view( a mature person is not impulsive )

It is also the ability to empathize with a wide range of life events and experiences ( hence why mature people are usually older people, who have been through many experiences in life, but not always)

@SFRL Spit on a person's face. Their reaction is a good litmus test for how mature they are. No, seriously.

@SFRL, on top of what @Arion said. There is the understanding of things based on knowledge plus experience. Neither just knowledge, or just experience, provides a level of understanding which can be used efficiently.
