Well, I could insert a nice story for you, but it seems Innocentius has already mentioned a lot of important things I concur with.

At the moment my notion of maturity is more or less like the following:
---On the lower levels:
* financial independence
* steady serious properly functioning relationship (if applicable)
* ability to survive and move about business normally in society
* etc.

---On the higher levels:
* intellectual virtue and maturity
* philosophy (knowledge, wisdom, truth, morality, etc.)
* the control of emotions, passions, and desires to prevent conflict and facilitate peace

What say you of it?
