Maturity is not a state of being. Maturity is becoming more mature. You can never be too mature, just like you can never know everything. We are flawed beings, we are imperfect. And so we learn from those imperfections,
Or we don't.
Perhaps an example will help:
Instance X:
I am right, you are wrong.
Instance X (a) You are mature.
Instance X (b) You are immature.
Instance X (a):
I am right, you are wrong.
I tell you that you are wrong and why.
You accept my view, and either admit the mistake or say why you don't agree with my view. I listen to your view.
We then engage in constructive debate and eventually come to some understanding even if we still think the other person is wrong.
Instance X (b)
I am right, you are wrong.
I tell you that you are wrong and why.
You refuse to listen, don't admit the mistake and say one of / something like the following phrases:
Fuck you.
Don't dare you talk to me in that tone of voice.
What the hell do you know?
Think you're very smart is it?
Say enough a d or not?
Shut up.
Shut the fuck up.
Go die.
Go to hell.
Who do you think you are?
What are you trying to prove? (this one is funny, because these people have no ears nor brains)
Etcetera etcetera etcetera.
(use common sense to edit these instances should ''I'' be wrong and "you" is right)
Maybe some will read this and fume. But believe me, you will remember this on your death bed.

Yeah, people need to agree to disagree more often.
