Maturity

So what do you think it has to do with?

 

I'm still in the process of figuring that out. I just find maintaining jobs, relationship easy to rule out. You can have those things, know what you want in life, and be a kind person yet still behave childishly when there is drama/conflict going on in your life. If anything how a person handles themselves when things are going completely astray in their life will be a better indicator of a person's level of maturity. And there could be many reasons as to why a person has difficulty holding a job or relationship. The way they handle the loss and rejection will say more about them.

I'm more inclined to agree with taking responsibility for one's actions as mentioned already. That combined with establishing an honest relationship with yourself is a good start for maturity to bloom.

This a fun topic for me to examine and play around with.

 

you can lose a job without being immature, but immaturity does make it a lot harder to keep a job long term.

so it's not the only factor in one's ability to maintain employment, but it does have something to do with it.

 

I would like to think I'm mature because I can actually debate with someone who has very different views than myself. I think people who demean others because they have different beliefs definitely lack maturity.

 

I think part of maturity is the ability to see oneself as part of a larger picture, be that a family, society, workplace, community or country.

 

Disagree. Many subtle factors can play into it for employment to be a deciding factor on a person's level of majority. Especially if they have a learning disability.

A person who puts forth the effort but just doesn't seem to be getting it or 'fit in," in comparison to one who argues and picks fights with their co-workers.

 

So much for the lone wolf trying to live off the grid

 

Many people live off of the grid because they do not want to contribute to systems that they find harmful to the whole.

 

It was ment tongue in cheek

As they generally exclude themselves from society, family, traditional workplace etc. But often because of the bigger picture and seeing what an impact all these things have, yes.

 

Yep, I follow your thinking, and agree with you here.

 

When you do something mad, it bites you in the ass, and you hope no one seen you.. that's mature.

I had to go down a slope, could have gone the long way around, it was slippery.. so I went fof it... landed in the mud on my bum... immature...

 

When you can resist the perfect opportunity for a that's what she said joke.

In that case: fuck maturity!

 

I can Fit into the company of the board of directors same way with a bunch of toddlers ( I bin around ! ) Maturity ? no fucking idea , When you guys work it out let me know !!

PS
My best mate just went home and he is two and a bit !

 

Then maybe part of maturity is being able to adapt to surroundings and circumstances, and having the intelligence to know what is appropriate and where

 

I am a life long learner. I would never claim to have reached the end of the road as far as personal development is concerned. We all have our flaws. Just because someone else does not hold the same values and philosophical beliefs as I do, I would not dismiss them as immature. What I have noticed is when an adult does not respect other people, it is a tell -tale sign they have not spent time in the workforce.

 

I don't see myself on the road towards personal development. If i'm on a road it would be more towards personal dismantlement. But i can't claim that either.

What is it that really develops other than a larger, more subtle ego? Well needed to succeed of course. The desire or want to be more intelligent, more beautiful, more well adjusted, more giving, more confident, etc. Why not. But the older i get, the less any of that matters. Actually i don't think it does anymore.

 

Personal development? What's the point you're just gonna die anyway.
