How do I know I am getting mature?

I read through the other thread and I know I am getting old ... the years are adding up. For some unknown reason I still feel very young and more often than not people in their twenties seem "old" to me.

Agewise I am on the right board but I am wondering whether this is so maturity wise. Does anyone know sure tell signs for maturity?

One of the signs of maturity is to question whether you are mature or not!!!

You always belong and are always welcome here!

Contemplating the question led me to think of the moment when I came to accept with some peace, the phrase, 'The more you know, the less you understand'. Early years were marked by a real need to be black and white about issues and have hard and fast rules. Now I tend to think more hueristically, through principle and rule of thumb, in distilling truth from the sum total of experience. There is a serene sense of order in the chaos.
