MATURATION PROCESS
At this time of the year humans approach nature
to pick the fruit that is ripe and ready to be consumed.
Just like in nature, maturing also takes place in
humans with the passage of time. Like with fruits, trees and house plants...
humans aren't impervious to their surrounding environment, which
influences their maturation process.
Maturation
is a process that takes place as time passes by. But maturation does not
consist in simply becoming older, growing taller or watching time's effect on
us. Neither is it assuming one knows it all, that you’ve seen or done it all,
becoming cynical and disappointed because life has nothing else to offer or
there's nothing else to discover.
A
person does not reach his/her highest point of maturity by listening to
statements such as "you'll open your eyes when you mature",
"life and its blows will teach you", "don't be so naïve".
Real
maturation comes from widening one's horizons regarding values and principles.
That will bring out the best in us, improve our relationships, make us
transparent in everybody else's eyes. All the love and tenderness in us will
then shine, from inside out, and we will be the first ones to profit from it.
We
must bear in mind that growing by our own means can be a difficult task. It is
therefore wise to find support in our environment so that the latter provides
us with all we need to reach our highest level of maturity.
Maturity
in a person should entail physical, intellectual and emotional aspects. We
should work with the aim of improving our health as well as our emotional
intelligence and capacity to love. In order to make good decisions and take on
responsibility we need to expand our social and moral dimensions.
Perfect
maturation in human beings should encompass both the mind and the body. Only in
this way can we build a wholly developed and proportionate self.
