Is there a growth rate/maturity rate for us? How do we measure it? By the number of times that person break down and stand up from it? Or by the number of times a person experience something new? How could we really measure how much have a person really learn in his/her time of life? Could a person's maturity be respective to how old they look?
This thoughts just came to my mind this very morning.
We humans would always say to kids that "You will know when you grow up", so when will this day come?
Currently there is no medical/scientific way to measure it from what I know, but have anyone really thought of a way to measure it?
There are times when kids who are more thoughtful and caring than their parents, is this a sign of maturity?
My assumptions have been, maturity is always measured by a persons life experience with the society. If a person is sensitive and thoughtful in many ways, his/her rate towards maturity will be faster as they would put themselves in other's shoes and try learn from it. The tougher the situation/life is, the more they will learn from it.
Anyone with other thoughts? Please do enlighten me.
