Maturity Defined

In Summary: The adult with a capacity for true maturity is one who has grown out of childhood experiences without losing childhood's best traits. He has retained the basic emotional strengths of infancy, the stubborn autonomy of "toddlerhood", the capacity for wonder and pleasure and playfulness of the preschool years, the capacity for affiliation and intellectual curiosity of the school years, and the idealism and passion of adolescence. He has incorporated these into a new pattern of simplicity dominated by adult stability, wisdom, knowledge, sensitivity to other people, responsibility, strength, and purposefulness.

Unity

The central theme of Baha'u'llah's teachings is that humanity is a single race which should now be united in one global society.

He taught that as humanity evolved physically and adapted socially, so world unity is the final stage in the evolution of humanity.

Human beings originally lived in isolated family groups, then became tribal, moving into city states and then nations.
Bahá'ís believe that humanity must now move forward to global maturity, recreating itself as a single human family:

The reality is that there is only the one human race.
We are a single people, inhabiting the planet Earth, one human family bound together in a common destiny, a single entity created from one same substance, obligated to 'be even as one soul'.
Official Bahá'í statement, August 2001

Baha'u'llah stated this key Bahá'í principle very simply over 100 years ago:

The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens.

... just love the Baha`i Insights?!
Also the fact that more and more Psychologists are accepting EMOTIONAL Maturity to be the real "measure" of our Intelligence.... That IS a good step forward, eh?
Thanks for putting the Spotlight on this very important subject!
