Yesterday a very nice lady came over to the "hospedaje" for a small chat about maturity. I think that it was very interesting and it made me think a lot. I think that with every problem that raises before us we mature a little more and, like she said, we'll be maturing until the day we die. I just thought it'd be nice to post here the points we discussed:
* Vision of Reality
Seen things for what they really are, not through a pink veil or trying to turn everything around for our own benefit.
* Acceptance of ourselves and others
It's about being able to accept your flaws, but also about realizing that it doesn't matter whether we are tall or short, asian or black, Catholic or Muslim... and learning to not criticize others because they might be different.
* Taking responsiblility for our actions
If you didn't do your homework, don't blame the dog! (LoL ^_^) No, really, this one is about knowing that there are consequences to every choice you make. This makes me wonder...were Adam and Eve mature? I think not, otherwise Adam wouldn't have blamed Eve and Eve wouldn't have blamed the Serpent, eh?
* Have a goal in life
This one's easy; mature people have goals - not something like getting money to buy that new CD, cellphone...but something more like getting a job, a degree, etc.
* Sense of Community
Realizing that everything is not about you, there's a whole world out there! You're not the only one that suffers, you're not the only person that goes through "bad" times...
* Deep interpersonal relations
Having people that you can honestly rely on, not just the "part-ay" friends, but people that are there for you. Take into consideration that not every so called "friend" falls into this category, it will usually be just one or two.
* Sense of humor
What is life without a good laugh? taking things too seriously is not good for anyone, laugh a little, live better.
* Creativity
Creativity is needed to solve problems and to amuse. Are you one of those that's always saying: "I'm bored...there's nothing to do"...be a little creative, find useful ways to spend your time.
So, are you mature, on your way or nowhere near it? Don't feel bad, we have the rest of our lives to mature :)

Wonderful post mommy. I believe that for the most part, I am a pretty mature girl since a young age. Clear on my goals, handling certain problems with a clear mind...There's always room for improving my maturity levels, of course XD
Love you mommy! ^-^
I'm only mature when I feel like it! >:D Right now, I'm definitely not mature! I have none of those qualities. >:D
All I want to do now is keep pressing people's bodies against the street walls with my stolen car.
