"MATURITY"

Maturity is never a destination that you reach someday upon growing up. It’s more like certain amount of common sense or general knowledge as well as sufficient control upon your emotions that you gather into action in times of need.

1..Its not immature to cry. Crying merely helps us vent out our emotions. Crying and doing nothing about what was lost is a sign of cowardice. The act of recognising what needs to be done at that point of time is brilliance and determination and determination. But the act of realising that something needs to be done and staying out will yield no outcomes is maturity.

• Its not the merely the ability to make big decisions at a prestigious position, but also the conscious choice to understand the small pieces that fit in to make the greater things.
• When at a bus stand or any public place and someone throws a plastic wrapper towards a dustbin, but the wrapper falls on the ground. You get conscious that everyone is watching and so its normal to feel hesitant to do the cleanup. But if you just pick the wrapper and put it back in the dustbin without thinking of others, thats maturity.
• When a friend or a stranger picks up an argument with you, and you know fundamentally that you are right, but still give up the argument because it seems to you that the point is not worth wasting your time and energy, that’s maturity.

• When a friend fails to keep her word and you choose not to be mad at him/her. Instead you decide not to rely on him/her further but still be friends, that’s maturity.
• When you have a lot of work piled up and you just have a weekend to finish it off, but your friends are calling you on a road trip after a long time. You are uncertain what to do. You had waited for a long time to get together with your buddies again and its possible to push the work for early next week maybe. However you don’t want things to pile up further and keep a good pace at work and personal life, perhaps you can meet your friends some other time. The decision is solely yours, subject to multiple factors, but once you have made your choice, you need to deal with it and accept the consequences instead of worrying about what if I had made the other choice. That’s maturity.
• You might be an adult, but when young kids are around, you dint hesitate to shred off that aura of a grownup and capable of matching thoughts and frequencies of kids. Meanwhile, you might even bump into the elder crowd who just have tales from their good olden days to share, but you acknowledge their views, relevant or not, to make them feel important. Basically if you can catch up any individuals thought process and match it to develop social connection beyond the surface layer by letting go your ego of self obsession, thats maturity.

• Often people judge by very primitive and little information, mostly based on their own personal beliefs. When you pass verdicts and judgements only after having made sure that all points of view have been studied and analysed, thats being smart. However, if you never really make judgements and keep your mind open for more possibilities all the time, thats maturity.
• When someone dear passes away and you have been greatly affected. You obviously want to vent out and are free to do so until you feel better. People sometimes overdo it to make sure that others around them don’t come to judge how little did the departed mean to them. What others think and feel need not be your concern. When there are people looking up to you and you feel that you need be practical, that’s when you shove your emotions down the throat and stand up to do what needs to be done. That’s Maturity.

Its not just the ability to see beyond the obvious and do the right things for the greater good, but also more precisely the instinct to know the situation in and out before you call upon action.

Human emotions and feelings are not limited by laws of our society.

Peace out!
