We mature with experiences and not with age

Some say that maturity comes with age, but I really do not think so. I do not feel that age has got anything to do with maturity. I strongly feel and believe that we mature with the experiences of our life. I have seen people even at the age of 60 acting very dumb and at the same time a youth of 20 acting sensibly. Maturity solely depends on how one conducts themselves in life, what kind of choices they make, how they handle tough situations of life. With age we only grow but we do not mature.

The definition if maturity says that when something is grown fully maturity happens. We humans physically and mentally are at our peak in our 30s and 40s and ideally, we would say that the person is mature. But if the person has lived a very cocooned life, then it is possible that even at that age the person will not mature, though age wise may.
When a person goes through varied experiences of life, they understand the mental and emotional aspects of life. They will know how to handle critical situations. Just for e.g., between my Son and his girl friend, I will any day say that his girl friend is more mature than my Son, though both of them are same age. The reason being, that my Son has grown up in a very protected environment whereas his girlfriend has been raised in a very tough environment and whenever it comes to making decisions, she is quick and she looks at matters in depth rather than forming and judgements on the face of the matter.

Our age does not teach us lessons in life but our experiences do. We see that some people are very street smart in life and some fall back on books and advice from others to handle situations. That is where the difference comes in to the picture. Life can be very easy going with some and very tough for some. Everyone's level of maturity is different.

It is also not always about the hardships in life that mature a person. It is also about the exposure that one gets in life. You will see that when a person travels extensively or works in a job which has a high level of interaction in varied ways, these people will be smarter than the ones who are more operating out of their comfort zones in their limited space. They will have a better way of dealing with life. Family environment also influences one's level of maturity. If parents give too much of protection to their children, do not allow them to venture out and experience life by themselves, their learnings of life become limited in such cases.

Also, a person who is smart does not mean will be matured also. I always get amused with these debaters. They are all smart people, but yet on their debate shows they yell and fight with each other and I always wonder, which school did they go to and which environment were they raised in. There is no patience or understanding of others. Everyone wants to prove themselves right with their points and you will see them worst then children fighting. There is no maturity that you see in them while doing these debate shows. They need to put their point across and their maturity level will decide how they put their point across. Surely, they are all intelligent but not matured enough.

As we say "Age is just a number and Maturity is a choice"
