Maturity has to do with -
1) Give in in a reasonable way to some one to keep some one happy/satisfied/relaxed.
2) The capacity to correctly consider the priorities that would not put others in trouble or in such a way that the other would not be let to feel offended.
3) The capabilities to be sensitive to others feelings and emotions while one self is down.
4) Considering others mistakes in right perspective, in a given situation and not insulting them. Not taking a chance to have some fun out of others mistakes.
5) Forgetting and forgiving. At least not holding on vengeance
6) Keeping away from undesirable/troubling individuals rather keep on poking them, teasing them, insulting them and indulging in back biting.
7) Composing one self such a way that one can willingly appear to be a fool/ignorant to the other (when he/she is really not) rather demonstrating the skill to the extent that the other feel humiliated and insulted in front of others.
8) To be reasonably selfish and reasonably stubborn ONLY to ensure that, by this the near and dear ones gonna be really benefited.
9) Compromises, adjustments and support that paves ways for every one's betterment.
10) Being prudent and knowing when, where and how the truth can be disclosed. Telling lies that can avoid many harms to happen.
Dear Ravi,
Good I agree with all what you wrote.
Ok lets have a check list:
1) Give in in a reasonable way to some one to keep some one happy/satisfied/relaxed.
Well I think we females do this all the while..sometimes not that we like we are doing but it is easier to give in to avoid conflict after all only for this life we know everyone.
2) The capacity to correctly consider the priorities that would not put others in trouble or in such a way that the other would not be let to feel offended.
Yup...agreed..cos we would not want landing up in jail cos of hurting someone or someone else landing up in jail becos of us...Karma yaar..we need to watch what we do..
Would not want any idiot landing up as my Karmic partner in a next life..so better to give and take.
3) The capabilities to be sensitive to others feelings and emotions while one self is down.
We females do this all the time..even when we are sad or down we are supposed to hear other out..so its a reflex for us. No problems in this.
4) Considering others mistakes in right perspective, in a given situation and not insulting them. Not taking a chance to have some fun out of others mistakes.
Oh this is simple..say what ever we want and just put a disclaimer below what we say or if online just type LOL or put a smiley..so it wont hurt anyone.
5) Forgetting and forgiving. At least not holding on vengeance
Yes you are right..love all and serve all... gays,lesbians included.
6) Keeping away from undesirable/troubling individuals rather keep on poking them, teasing them, insulting them and indulging in back biting.
This is easy to follow in real life but hard to follow online! Ha Ha Ha
7) Composing one self such a way that one can willingly appear to be a fool/ignorant to the other (when he/she is really not) rather demonstrating the skill to the extent that the other feel humiliated and insulted in front of others.
Most of us are fools( me included) to start with..so no need to act ignorant...just be ourselves will do the job.
8) To be reasonably selfish and reasonably stubborn ONLY to ensure that, by this the near and dear ones gonna be really benefited.
Does not make sense..how to be selfish and stubborn and others benefit from it??
9) Compromises, adjustments and support that paves ways for every one's betterment.
Yes..this makes sense not No 8.
10) Being prudent and knowing when, where and how the truth can be disclosed. Telling lies that can avoid many harms to happen.
True..especially for girls..never disclose to husband how many boyfriends one had before marriage.
Guys might think they will disclose to wife to show wife that he is sincere and also sometimes to show that he was not a person who was not desired by girls but the wife could be laughing inside thinking "Oh he only had 1 girlfriend and he thinks he is a Manmatha?"LOL
Analysis: Going by Ravi's 10 commandments of maturity I have scored 9/10 cos I did not agree to point No 8.
So therefore I am 90% mature!
