Adults and children are obviously different and will have a mature temperament. And most children are naïve and immature. So, when does man begin to mature?
Although maturity is not necessarily good, and it may lose a lot of innocence and childlike fun, it will also lose a lot of naïve fantasies, and at the same time lose a lot of freedom, but people will inevitably move towards maturity, and they will come out of their childishness, go into society, and go through the life journey that they must go through. However, children may be precocious, adults may be naïve, and it is not possible to generalize.
When children are young, they have not seen the world, their thinking is not sound, and they are unlikely to produce a sound thinking mode, but they will continue to explore, keep trying and making mistakes, grow in exploration, and keep moving forward in trial and error. After all, children have not fully entered society, have no social experience, and will not be able to deal with others and things, nor will they cope with some incidents. As a result, they will keep making mistakes and revise their words and actions. It is not until they enter the society that they gradually adapt to social norms and some workplace rules that they become mature.
So, is there a point in time for maturity?There seems to be no definite point in time, as if it were a natural process. When a person reaches a certain level, he will become mature, and the obvious sign is that he will not talk nonsense, and he will not be good at telling the truth, think more when encountering problems, and ask others, instead of doing it brutally, and seeing some things openly, instead of holding on to it. As the old saying goes: "The world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article." "Being able to see through the truth of things, even if you are knowledgeable and have established good interpersonal relationships, is also a way to make a fuss. That is to say, maturity needs to see the truth behind things, and it is necessary to establish good interpersonal relationships, of course, the main thing is to see through it yourself, and act according to the laws of social operation, rather than acting according to your own ideas.
The process of gradual maturity of human beings from nature to society, and from natural persons to social beings, is itself a process of gradual maturity, but this maturity is relative, not absolute. People must go through the process of socialization in order to mature, and the socialization process is not only the difference in mentality, but also the difference in understanding. People have to adapt to the rules of society, not to adapt society to one person. A relatively advanced civilization has emerged in human society, which can inherit civilization and increase human life expectancy to seventy or eighty years old, provide shelter for people, and also provide people with many jobs and a relatively ideal life. If human beings are still in the era of slash-and-burn farming, they will still be in a state of ignorance, and they will not be mature compared to the present. And now, humanity has matured, but not necessarily maturely. After all, the ecological environment is damaged and needs to be repaired for a long time, and it may not achieve the desired purpose. And many times, the development of human beings is selfish, only taking into account the development of their own group, but not the development of other living beings. Replacing non-renewable energy sources with new energy sources is not a sign of maturity?Of course, there is no need to be overly optimistic, many times there will be energy crises, food crises, inflation crises, etc., which cannot be controlled by one or two people, nor can society itself immediately turn crises into opportunities.
The human group is moving towards the so-called maturity, but under the care of the grand universe, it seems that the human race has not matured, but only the progress of civilization, and even the destruction of the human race. Compared with individual human beings, what they think of as maturity is to integrate into society, no longer be so naïve, no longer fantasize, no longer say childish things, and do childish things. However, is this kind of life still interesting?Of course it's not interesting. Everything is pragmatic, but it is not a good thing, and even because of the lack of lively thinking, I feel that life is boring and life is not interesting. Children look at things, are always full of fantasies, explore the world, and try to change the world with their own abilities. Children think that the world is set for themselves, and their abilities are infinite, and they can even ask for something as soon as they reach out, and as soon as they speak, adults rush to do it. Actually, this is a sign of childishness. The range of activities of children is only as large as that of the family, even if they go to kindergarten and elementary school, the range of activities is not very large, except that the family is the school, not to talk about interpersonal communication, and not to talk about experiencing some events. But they are all conceited, thinking that they can control the situation, they can dominate everything. After all, human cognition is a process of treating the external world as a subjective mirror image, and the world that people know is different, or even very different. No one can say that the world of awareness is the real world, nor can it be said that it is a comprehensive understanding. When they gradually realize that their abilities are limited and cannot completely change the world in the process of life and Xi, they begin to mature.
Maturity means adapting to the rules of society and growing into an adult. Of course, there are also precocious ones, thanks to mature thinking, they speak at a young age, do things neatly, and do not drag the mud and water at all. But they seem to have lost the joy of childhood prematurely, and the space for fantasy prematurely. In fact, most of the creative thinking comes from the naïve mode of thinking, that is, children are more creative, if they are trained from the beginning of a single subject knowledge and ability, they will definitely be full of creativity, and they will definitely become outstanding talents.
Some adults are more naïve, unsound thinking, often say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing, and even be ridiculed, but they are always unable to mature. Perhaps, their subconscious likes to be in the state of a child. The body becomes an adult, but the mentality is the state of a child, which is not very easy to change. Most of the mother's boys are like this, let the adults call the shots in everything, and don't make their own decisions, so there is a naïve state. Of course, even mature people can do wrong things, and they will lose no time in being naïve, and naïve people will lose no time in maturing up.
In some subject areas, as long as you learn enough knowledge, are good at flexible application, and have good interpersonal relationships, you will be considered mature. And true maturity is to have self-awareness and to constantly improve that awareness. Just like a monkey, if you look in the mirror and don't know that the monkey in the mirror is yourself, even if you are immature, and when you know that the monkey in the mirror is yourself, it means that the monkey has self-awareness and maturity.
