Maturity is a beautiful word. For us in adolescence, the desire for maturity is exactly the same as that of farmers for a bumper harvest. However, how much can we know about maturity?
In fact, maturity is a state of mind. If physical maturity is golden in autumn, then psychological maturity is the fragrance of fruit. One is external and the other is internal. And the maturity we often say is this inner maturity.
Writer Chi Li once wrote: "There are three realms in life: seeing mountains is mountains and seeing water is water;" Seeing mountains is not mountains, and seeing water is not water; See mountains or mountains, see water or water. " If we truly understand the third realm of life and the essence of life, then we can be considered mature. But in fact, among us young people, most people who think they are mature are in the second realm. When you have some views on life and society, you think you are mature. In fact, this is far from mature. Maturity is like tasting tea. The first bite is bitter and astringent. When you drink the second and third mouthfuls, a refreshing fragrance emerges from behind the bitterness, which is maturity.
The most basic meaning of maturity is self-reliance. A person who can't cook, wash clothes and take care of his daily life will talk about maturity all day, just like a frog in a well talking about how delicious swan meat is. It is really flattering to say that you are mature when you can't do your own things. Maturity must also have a broad mind, a "sea of rivers" mind. Don't haggle over things, treat everyone and everything around you with a broad mind. This is maturity. Another condition that a mature person must have is responsibility. Mature people should have a sound personality and correct principles of life. Then he must be responsible for his family, friends and society, and be responsible for his words and deeds. Maturity is to be your own master.
To be a mature person, you must also have the spirit of persistent pursuit of career and ideal. British writer Curtis once said, "Supporting an extraordinary cause and fighting for it all your life is my advice to young people who pursue an immortal name." The success or failure of life is the success or failure of career. There is a Norwegian proverb: "A person's soul is in his career." We are in the best time of our lives. If we strive for our great cause, you will find that you have matured a lot. However, if you shout "Be immersed in love, be timid" all day in this wonderful time, you will only become more naive.
Maturity is not like learning to be an adult, smoking and guessing fists, being sophisticated and tactful, and meditating all day. You don't have to encounter one or two setbacks to understand everything. I don't introduce my life experience to others in a dignified tone, lamenting the hardships of life and the bumpy road. In the eyes of mature people, these are just moans of "worrying about adding new words" This maturity masks naivety and emptiness. True maturity is natural chic.
Now I am not mature, and it has become redundant to imitate maturity. Because maturity means believing in yourself, believing in youth and waiting for the future calmly. And I firmly believe that maturity is really not far from me.
