Maturity is the balance between Courage and Consideration.
It also been defined in this way :
“the ability to express one’s own feelings and convictions balanced with considerations for the thoughts and feelings of others”
The word courage in this context simply means how ‘brave’ one would be in expressing his or her thoughts and feelings out to people.
The word consideration in this context on the other hand means the ability to be considerate on how our choice of words and actions would hamper the person who’s on the receiving end.
All in all, balance between courage and consideration, means courage minus consideration, or consideration minus courage. This literally means how able one to express his own thoughts and feelings out after having went through effort of trying to be considerate and understanding toward the person who is on the receiving end.
This should define maturity in a better way than the conventional way of people saying maturity is not how old we are, but rather how much tears we’ve shed. Or not on how much sense what we said make, but rather how conservative what we said meant to people.
Conclusively, maturity should be defined as the ability of one person to express his or her feelings out WITHOUT having to COMPENSATE THE FEELINGS OF THE LISTENER.
now i think this would make more sense.
