Good day, people of Hive! Welcome to my blog. Today's topic is from Ladies of Hive, so let's dive in.
When I saw this week Ladies of Hive topics, especially the second one, I had to think deeply and do some research to understand it better and have more knowledge about how to answer it.
Honestly, I will personally say I agree with this statement. The reason is that it perfectly describes the difference between growing older and growing mature. We all know that aging is something that happens on it's own, it's something we can't control on our own. Every single day adds to our age, and no matter how hard we try to stop aging, we can’t. Maturity, on the other hand, is about how we think, behave, interact, and handle situations. Maturity depends entirely on us.
Aging starts from the day we are born. It begins from being a newborn baby to a toddler, then a teenager, an adult, and finally old age. No one can stop the aging process at all. That’s why I said aging is an obligation, something that’s bound to happen whether we like it or not.
Maturity, on the other hand, means being responsible for our actions. It’s about how we grow in our minds, how we handle things, and how we behave as we get older.
We have some people who still behave like children despite their age. They think, act, speak, and behave like they are still a child. For example, a teenage girl of fifteen years old can act more mature than a youth of twenty-five. Maturity is a choice, not an obligation like aging.
Maturity also means learning to control our emotions and understanding that life won’t always go the way we want no matter what. Maturity means being patient, forgiving, understandable, kind-hearted and supportive. Being mature helps us see things differently. It helps us not to react to everything and teaches us how to face our problems and solve them without always asking for someone’s help.
I have seen some people who are old but still blame others for their problems instead of taking responsibility for their actions. That’s why we often see people who are grown in age but are not mature.
For me, aging is something that happen on it's own, but maturity is something we must do and learn for ourselves. Like I said, we can’t avoid aging, but we can choose whether we want to become a better version of ourselves or not. I believe true maturity makes life easier because it helps us understand people, think better, behave better, and handle situations wisely.
In conclusion, aging is something we can’t avoid, but maturity will always remain a choice. For me I will personally say aging is a blessing from God, but growing mature is something we have to choose for ourselves. So yes, aging is an obligation, but maturity will always remain a personal choice.
