Wisemen’s sayings and teachings provide the much-needed enlightenment to navigate this journey called life. As we grow older, we experience different situations that require more than our knowledge and skills to respond. As per psychology, maturity is the ability to know how to act when faced with different situations and environments, mostly stressful or tempting. However, how to be mature is still a debate between age and wisdom.
