adultus

to reach manhood... to grow up... to become established... to grow strong... to reach your peak.... when exactly does that happen?
can that point be measured... identified?
is it ever attained?
maybe
depnds on what exactly we mean by reaching manhood... when can you describe one as being mature... what facets need to be examined?

mature... when referencing people can be defined as... fully developed in body or mind, as a person...

fully developed in body... well that's a matter of age correct?
at a certain age... you stop growing right... again maturity - the period of time in your life after your physical growth has stopped and you are fully developed... cool...

fully developed in mind... that's a bit harder... as much as one may claim to be developed in mind... how do we know to ourselves at which point we have reach our mental peak...?

if we are mature... then it goes without saying that we have the ability to handle the everyday activities...challenges... problems... that make life what it is... not only handle them.. but deal with them in a disciplined manner.... but if that's the definition of maturity then not very many of us are even close.. does that mean then that the criminals we see in society are immature...?
is taking that which does not belong to you a sign of immaturity...?
in spite of how complex and well structured the method?
