Be mature?

                                                
When, for the heaven’s sake you grow up? I have been asking you from the times unknown, be mature now!
These are commonly used sentences in daily life.
Maturity is synonymous to sophistication (now keep sexual maturity at par for the time being) we use to place it as a brooch to the person we feel grownup but other side round by just adding the word “be” we simply use to tag him as a baffled.
Thanks to the archeologist who identified that the man has been trying to get mature from stone ages. People at that time use to carve pictures on the stoned wall of caves, there might be two different scenarios for this phenomenon. One might be to kill the time and the other is obvious if the first one is wrong, “to be mature”. Reason what might be but the thoughts of mature ones surely revolve around these two. To me there might be one more reason; these drawings could be the comic books of those days immature, as I don’t feel any reason that they might be interested in presenting themselves as mature ones to the present day mature people.
Life is not consistent it changes every minute.  What’s looking right gets wrong next moment. The quantum of life is short. There are three phases of life i.e. tender age, teenage and not getting any younger age. In the tender age, mistakes are considered as learning steps by the elders but then suddenly the difference between the next two stages/ ages diminishes away and the person is suddenly considered polished and mature. We consider that we had given him enough time during his tender age to do mistake; now there is no space for his mistakes. But life is a constant learning, it can be proved practically, for instance give your car keys to a bull cart owner and ask him to give the ropes of his bull cart to you. Within 60 seconds you will recognize that you need to learn how to drive a bull cart. So proved learning never ends.
Great men laugh at their mistakes and consider them as their step towards success. Humor is getting out of our lives. We don’t enjoy mistakes; we just try to pose ourselves as the best in knowledge guys. There is lot more in life then keeping yourself just serious. Though the difference prevails in doing mistakes and causing damage by committing mistakes but I believe the things that are source to damage are not simply mistakes rather they are blunders. And I am seriously not in point to support these blunders.
This is life. The chapters of life are not known, only the already turned pages of this book can be read, we are feeble to turn the next pages of the this book which is called life. People can only make histories not futures all they can do is to move on and on and try to choose right path. John W Gardner an American writer said “One of the reasons mature people stop learning is that they become less and less willing to risk failure.” Destiny sometimes takes you to a dead end but this apparently dead end is the start for the whole new life of marvel. Take risks, do mistakes, enjoy the life, tolerate others and stay IMMATURE. It is sometimes better not to know all the things!

Stay Blessed.
