Why I Believe Age Doesn’t Define Maturity

Maturity is not by age.

This is because age is just a number, being matured is All about being capable of taking responsibility, making good decisions, being serious in life, willing to learn from mistakes, and having wisdom and knowledge in handling life challenges and difficulties.
When maturity is mentioned, it's often comes to our minds As someone that has grown beyond the stage of teenager. I believe it's because all adults, Man and woman is expected to had been mentally and emotionally well developed. It's also believe that their age had seen and also known what life is all about but unfortunately, some adults still behaves childishly. Some adults are not being focus in taking life journey serious,
not good in making decisions,
Some are never ready to accept and learn from their mistakes.

If a Man or woman is still having this kinds of behaviours most especially being arrogant and disrespectful, it is often said to be "Big for Nothing" mean why, it is age but not maturity.

There was a settle Man in my community, who got married to three wifes and gave birth to so many children. This Man in question doesn't have a tangible work that he does for a living, but has this mind set of believing that "it's God that train's children not Man". Meaning that he is very much prepared in bringing children to the world but not very prepared in taking good care of them. Running away from his responsibility as a Man. Come to think of it, it's true we do believe that everything is in God's hands but looking at it properly, the same God who created us gaved us sense of reasoning and understanding.
How can some one be courageous enough in bringing innocent children to the world with out taking good care of them. Children will be growing with no proper care, good education, training and support from their parents. To me l see it as child abuse and lack of maturity. Because it has a bad effect on the children's lives presently and in future time to come. It's Avery child's right to be taken good care of by their parents which enables them to grow stronger and wiser, this also helps them to be more focused and serious in their life journey. They will be willing to learn most especially from experience and mistakes.

If a teenager is very respectful,
has good character and manners, being very focus and willing to learn then the person is considered matured. A young person who is smart in decision making and willing to do the possible best in achieving the goals he or she sets for the future. It's is said to be "small but mighty"
Because they has the zeal to a successful life and that is a vital role of maturity.
I'm concluding that being an older person is not the same as being matured, because age is just a number....

I think people like that are funny. What exactly is his business bringing humans into the world without having the resources to take care of them?

Haha, you’re absolutely right! 😂 It’s really surprising how some people think that way. Bringing children into the world is a huge responsibility, not just something to do carelessly. Every parent should be ready mentally, emotionally, and financially to care for their kids.
