We are physically mature when our bodies achieve adult form and function. We are then able to reproduce and create new life which begins its journey toward maturity.
We also need emotional and social maturity which enable us to be responsible and accountable within our families and communities. We often tell our teenagers that privileges come with being trustworthy and responsible.
As adults increase in maturity, societies will continue to mature. Cooperation, democracy, equal rights, tolerance, and justice will prevail. America has evolving standards of decency that mark the progress of a maturing society; however, we will not reach our highest potential until all adults contribute their part, become accountable, and reach emotional and social maturity.
