And maturity is that you continue to fulfill your obligations, no matter how heavy the conditions that befall you. Maturity is that you still fulfill other people's rights over you, no matter how annoying the person you have to fulfill their rights is. Maturity is to forgive others before that person apologizes, even if the person doesn't ask for it. Not because forgiving is a must, but because by not forgiving, you will hurt your own feelings even more. Adults are not always you who have to give in. Maturity is you know when it's time to give in. Not because you are afraid or weak. But sometimes, giving up is indeed the wisest choice. Adult is you reduce your ego, how little ego you feel. Not because ego is unimportant, but because keeping together is always more important than our individual egos.
