Human maturity is an interesting concept albeit misleading. The belief that there is some endpoint to development is encouraging – there is a goal to reach. The truth is that no such endpoint exists. Maturity is essentially about appropriateness, about “fit” and that is contextual.
Maturity is about managing our self-perceived inadequacies in the face of our roles and responsibilities. Just as there is no courage in the absence of fear, so there is no need for maturity in the absence of tensions due to expectations.
Maturity is essentially an evaluation of human ecology. We forget that we judge others more harshly than ourselves.
