Maturity

Got a few meanings of mature from dictionary.com.

  1. complete in natural growth or development, as plant and animal forms: a mature rose bush. (So, I guess, we can call those really tall and big guys or totally lady-like ladies, who sprout nothing but hurting sentences and bimbotic sentences, a mature person?)
  2. fully developed in body or mind, as a person: a mature woman. (Mind? Not exactly very specific in this meaning.)
  3. pertaining to or characteristic of full development: a mature appearance; fruit with a mature softness. (Looks can be deceiving!)
     
 My point is that, maturity is really subjective. To some people, it may be how this person look. To some people, it may be how this person speaks. To others, it may be how they relate to you.
 
To me, maturity is mainly about having high EQ. It's not about how you look. And, growing older does not make you a matured person.
