In what aspects are we suppose to look at in order to define what makes a person "mature"? By what standard(s)? In other words, what does it really mean to be mature?
Is it by the way we speak, or what we speak of? Is it by our beliefs, or our topics of interest? Is it in the way we conduct ourselves? Is it found in a person's wisdom, or intellect? Is it found in the strong bonds of an interpersonal relationship, or is it defined by the separation due to differences in cultural upbringing?
Nevertheless, whatever the matter, I believe that despite our differences and our distances, we should not merely take things at the surface of what we see on a person on the outside but rather, that we should grow closer to people and understand what really is on the inside.
To that person who gave me their opinion on my immaturity, though indirectly, I thank you for it. I agree and understand that in some (or many) ways I am immature. I'm merely a child, but growing. Though we may be of the same age, distance and culture has brought us our differences and a barrier between us which has caused us to look at each other on the mere surface; we have definitely much more to catch up on, and plenty of room to grow in our mutual understanding of each other in our relationship.
The truth is, though I love you, I do not know you very well, what more to be close to you; and you I. You saw what was on my surface, and I saw what was on yours (but I won't mention it, for your sake). It is true what you said: I am immature. Not to brag though, but if you knew me better you would see that I can be mature in some ways, and what more
I have yet to understand you too.
(I am sorry)
