Naturally Mature

"A mature person is one who is does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably.”
Eleanor Roosevelt 

 

For one to not think in absolute is one who acknowledges imperfections around him/her -- to be one-step ahead of first impressions and criticisms.  These individuals are not numb to cause and effect, nor impassioned.  Instead, they are wise souls whom favor the luxury of contemplation to spontaneous expression or decisions.  Within each vessel holds a passion, a powerful force of emotion that expresses in terms of an organized mechanism of thought.  For those who accuse these conscious thoughtful beings to be apathetic are unfortunately immature themselves.  I am not one to say that they are superior thinkers, nor the most logical, but these accusations lead to conflict without a cause.  For those who differ in their perspectives must choose to understand them.  And if the individual carries two opposing views, i.e. another's view contrasting with their own, then forms of rhetoric may take the air to persuade. 

Maturity requires the greatest amount of patience, to contain spontaneous reactions, however to completely suppress spontaneity is wrong.  There is a delicate balance that must be maintained.  It is part of our humanity to express and respond to our environment, all with respect to preserving peace.

Sincerely,

Dan
