if "mature" in this sense is mentally or psychologically mature.

 Some people never become mature until the last minute of their lives while others seem born mature.

Maturity comes not with the age. It comes unexpectedly in the moments that you have to use both your heart and mind together to consider, decide, make judgement, solve problems, find a way out under certain demanding circumstance.

Experience is important but not a must for being a mature person. As you may see some young people are more mature than older ones.

Mature is if you can solve your problems by your own efforts, not always stick on or hoping for other help. Or in another words you have full rensponsibility up on yourself.

Experience is important but not a must for being a mature person.

dosen't that depend about a kind of experience?

Wow nabila you’ve really given me a hard question if you ask me about deep thought question about life issue because I just enjoy my life and don’t bother with the deep meaning of it.=)
if we talk about maturity we also talk about responsibility. If we’re getting mature in age we’d think of marriage. You have husband and ofcourse both of you must respect each other as partner in life. Then each one has task in the family. You can compromise and divise it with your husband. Maybe sm short of small job like who’s gonna throw the rubbish, or who’s gonna get the laundry etc could also be arranged between you and him as part of husband and wife livehood. You learn to be responsible in your marriage life. And then you have a baby and it’d be a great happiness but also a great “terror” if you didn’t make ready yourself for it. Having a baby so you must get ready yourself for changing your baby’s diaper, getting up late in the night if the baby had his diaper wet by his pee and etc. But y’know by doing that unselfish thing you’d learn how to be patient and the best main part is to take responsibility upon other lives. Yeah maybe it’s the meaning of maturity. =)

From my last post I came up with another question. Do you agree if any broken marriage is the result of unmaturity couple? I mean maybe the husband couldn’t afford the family’s expenditure or in another words he can’t take responsibility of the family’s finance.
