Maturity Theory

As a teenager, the word 'maturity' comes up a lot. Although I find it such an abstract concept. Everybody can identify whether or not your actions or words were mature or not, but can they tell you why?

I have been struggling with this concept for quite some time now. What makes us mature? How is maturity defined? After some thinking I came up with a theory. I was thinking about it because I had been blamed somebody of being immature and I felt immature for doing so, because I didn't really understand what made this person immature.

My thinking lead me in concluding that maturity isn't about what we say or what we do. Because our actions aren't always a true representation of who we are. Maturity is instead about doing and saying the right thing even though we really don't want to. 

For instance: yesterday I posted about drawing being so much easier than painting. I knew that this was probably inappropriate for people who read this and only draw and are really good at it. Although, even with that thinking, I still said it. Therefore I was not being very mature.

I hope you like my theory, because I have been applying to my life and it is proving to be very true.
P.S. sorry for the drawers out there.
