This talk sounds fishy I think. Are we being up to anything particular? Sorry if I ask.

Btw do you think that by being take responsibility of ourself is enough to be called a mature person? Don’t you think that maturity is also determined of our ability to take responsibility upon other people lives? I mean we’re not alone in this life. We have family and if you smhow get married maybe smhow you’d have children beside having a wife. And then you have father and mother in law. And then you’d have your lover’s family as your new big family.???

No, nabila. I just have another though after seeing the latest posts on this theme. But I hope it’s just my wild guess and hoping my guessing is wrong. Sorry nabila for the uncomfortable. It’s my error.=)

Hi nabila,

As I said … experience is important …...but not a must ….

The experience in the early years of a child's ages is what nature generally give him or her to have physical and mental development.  So, it's important for a child to gain experience.

 But, as I said, in terms of mental development, not every child grows up and becomes a mature adult while others become mature before entering their adulthood.

Ryo,
It’s normal if parent wants their children to have a well living life with appropriate and mature spouse, mature in the parent’s definition. It’s just like a cycle. Parents have a responsibility to take care their children as a part of their maturity task (since my definition of maturity is not only about ourself but also our children, or anybody around us). But if then the children didn’t pledge into the parents choices so be it. Then here we come to the child’s responsibility as a mature person. He must proves to his parent that his choice is the best for him, in your marriage case, since the one who will get married is the child, so he have rights to choose his future live partner. Parents have duty and also their responsibility to give any advise for the child’s good, but the final decision is belong to the child. So everybody has their maturity duty. Maybe the analogy just like that.
