maturity

i think people under 40 are very childish, people over 40 are worriers, people over 60 are lost and people over 80 are frightened.

hmm... looks like no matter what our ages are, we will always contribute to some problem and are problems unto ourselves. man... i guess there is no such thing as to be fully matured or completely matured as this is the ultimate goodness. hopefully to be sufficiently matured at our respective responsibilites will suffice.

if you think about it carefully, maturity = level of goodness. so to be matured in certain ways, a person must be good in those certain ways. since no one is completely good, then in those areas we find people to be immatured.

so maturity and age is not related by any means.

one thus measures a person's goodness by their maturity.

what constitutes as maturity among different people? for me it is simply their goodness. an 80 year old grandma playing with her barbie dolls is not immatured to me; it's just a form of entertainment. for all purposes, if she is a decent human being, she is matured.


we settle down with others whom we find matured 'enough'. the rest are the external stuff like money, looks, social standing, behaviour... basically it has more to do with the stuff that is not crucial to our spirit.

life shouldn't be so serious; it is only a temporary situation. our spirit lives forever and we need to develop that area while we are physically alive.

it is easy to be matured (according to my terms); it is only a question of wanting to.
