Maturity is that moment you reach just before you go over the hill.

Maturity is that wonderful moment when I behave as a calm collected adult instead of as a bratty impetuous angry child. Well... it's a LOT of those moments... all strung together. It's when I make a habit of suppressing the temptation to do the wrong/hurtful/selfish thing to do the right/loving/unselfish thing.So, I am interested to hear what maturity means to you. I don't want you to go research maturity or anything, I just want your initial impression of what it is. Also, please feel free to post any experiences or examples you have witnessed!
Please, discuss!
then call me immature hunny!An alternative definition is: you must act and behave the way everyone expects you to. And if you don't, then you're immature. ; )
then call me immature hunny!
I know! I was agreeing...I couldn't find the right monkey...sorryyeah, i was kinda making fun of maturity as something that can be quite forced and too proper.

Maturity is being true to yourself and others, even if it hurts.
NO, you don't feel guilty for not liking it.So if a baby is crying, and you don't like it, you inform the baby you don't like it crying?
NO, you don't feel guilty for not liking it.
I am not sure. Probably because I have been told my whole life to be a fucking man and stop being so sensitive.Not liking the crying? Why would you feel guilty for not liking the crying?

Or how about stupid things like.. "Turn That frown upside down".
"Why don't you smile more often?"
"You can't feel that,It's wrong"
At some point I believed in duty over my own self
And then things got muddled
So I am saying when I can ignore those voices , be true to myself and still behave like something I can tolerate to look at in the mirror,
I will be mature
See I am talking about me, and you are talking about your, neighbors? I don't see the connection.OH OH OH!!!
So like my neighbor saw that I was stuck in my driveway this morning and he came over and helped me push my car out which was dug in REALLY well. He didn't want to help overall I am sure, he probably would have rather went inside and watched TV in his warm house.
So if he was mature he would have told me he didn't want to help and went in and watched TV, or simply not said anything. But instead he came and helped push me out, which I am sure wasn't true to his natural wants or desires.
So my neighbor is immature right?
