Grow Up!
No! This isn’t a Moms Blogger post 
Okay, have you ever ask yourself this question: “What is the difference between me and a child?” The instantaneous answer shall be something like “hello! I am adult”
Okay, seems like we are back to school 
so let me ask another question: “What is the meaning of adult?” Oxford defines it in terms of maturity as the period of time in your life after your physical growth has stopped and you are fully developed.
At the first glance, this is right since day after day time passes away therefore you find yourself getting older but what about being wiser? That is the question! A wise person is the one who makes the right thing in the right time, so in a nutshell, maturity, from my point of view, means the capability of individuals to use their own tools for implementing the knowledge they acquired throughout life in order to reach the state of welfare.
Consequently, this sheds light about why Child need Mommy and Daddy; because they neither have knowledge nor tools to do so, therefore they are being raised or in other words, “guided” until they understand how stuff works and start there own thousands-miles way to go!
In the light of this I think I can explain why sometimes we meet people who are physically adult but actually behave like Childs and I don’t use the common term act like teenagers because teenager are supposed to have the tools and the knowledge according to their personalities for sure.
Hey wait a minute! What is mentioned up seems to me very valid on the minor scale, the individuals, and the major one, society and civilisations. In other words, what applies for human being is the same for their civilisations yet the tools just slightly differs.
Consequently, I think this models form my point of view why Islam urged people for knowledge pursuance; to implement not to acquire and c’est tous!

Maria, Since you don’t know therefore you are :S
Seriously, we’ve this little child part which I like when it pop-up in some situations. Consequently, this is a proof -for me- that we still have mercy and romance in this rushing world!

True , i agree with your , maturity is not the physical growth but usually a mental growth . and it does not look like that we grow till the end of our life . we always take wrong decisions .
