MATURITY IS… When someone hurts you, but instead of immediately seeking revenge, you choose understanding, self-control, and peace. Maturity is realizing that people often act from their own pain, struggles, or unresolved issues. Understanding their situation does not excuse the hurt — but it prevents you from becoming consumed by bitterness. Explanation: Emotional maturity is the ability to respond with wisdom instead of reacting with anger. Protecting your peace is sometimes more powerful than getting even.
