In life, we often find ourselves caught up in the physical aspect of aging (the wrinkles, gray hairs and creaky joints). Aging is a natural process that happens to everyone as long you are a living being.
Aging is an obligation because obligation is a must that is to say something that must happen, or something that must be done. Aging is something no one can run away from as long as we are breathing everyday.
Aging is not about the decline, it's also a journey of growth, self-discovery and transformation. As we age, we gain a sense of perspectives, wisdom and appreciation for life. We learn to cherish every moment and make memories that will carry us through our journey on earth. To age is a beautiful thing because it shows you have lived a fulfilled life and seeing your loved ones with you is a thing of joy.
In the other hand, maturity is developing self awareness, taking responsibilities for actions done and learning from experiences to become a better version of ourselves everyday. When we take about maturity, it not about the age of an individual because some of forty years can be acting as a child but a child of ten or twelve years can act more matured. So maturity is not measured by age but how an individual handle a situation.
So that brings us to the question asked by the ladies of hive community ”Aging is an obligation, maturity is a choice.” So I will agree with the phase because aging is something everyone will pass through in life while maturity is a choice because we can choose to be mature or not. We may choose to run away from our actions and may choose to face or take responsibilities of our actions. If we do this, it shows how matured we are.
Aging is a natural part of life, but maturity is a choice. By cultivating self-awareness, taking responsibilities and developing emotional intelligence, we can become wiser and more compassionate individuals. With all these it shows we are mature to take and make our own decisions without the interference of others.
Thank you all for reading. This is my response to Ladies of hive community prompty week #258.
