Immaturity can be a curse for those who
seek happiness. I am sure that knowingly, no one would drive themselves towards
unhappiness. It is the inability to see that one is on the wrong path and on a
path that leads to grief and nowhere else.
What is immaturity? To my mind, it has many
faces.
A tendency to be impulsive can be
immaturity because it can tilt the balance between cause and effect, and
balance in everything is the key.
Thinking only of your own comfort and
disregarding the feelings of others is immaturity because true happiness is a
derivative of the heart which works in two ways: give and take.
Living without morals and values is
immaturity. Maturity is when you have your principles and responsibilities
intact along with freedom.
Immaturity is when you don't know who is
sincere and who isn't, when you get impressed by external facades instead of
evaluating the inner core of people.
A lack of Ethics constitutes a big portion
of immaturity, when you, out of your own unhappiness and dissatisfaction with
your existing life, cause upheavals in the lives of others, when you let your
petty ego mar beautiful relationships.
When you live in denial of your own
weaknesses and refuse to be counseled. And sometimes, choose those to counsel
you who have a hidden motive to come close, shunning those who love you and
have wisdom to impart.
Carrying grouses over small issues and
allowing this to distance you from people, without actually realizing that no
one can be perfect and that only love makes imperfect perfect.
These are just a few. I am sure everyone
will have points to add to these. And those who speculate on this subject will
definitely be able resolve a lot of confusion in their minds.
