Emotional Maturity is a powerful term. My eyes are drawn to this term constantly, making me thoughtful each time, and raises some questions (as usual :-)), in no order of priority and in no sequence..

– What does Emotional Maturity mean?

– Is it being mature about one’s emotions?

– What does maturity mean?

– Why should one be emotionally mature?

– How does being emotionally mature help?

– When does one display Emotional Maturity?

  • At all times?
  • If so, is that possible?

– What happens when one is not emotionally mature?

– Is it possible for one to be Emotionally Mature in one situation and not so in another?

– When is a person called as being emotionally mature? Is there a parameter for arriving at whether someone is emotionally mature?

– In the process of trying to be emotionally mature, are we likely to suppress our emotions? If so, what kind of an impact would this have on us, as individuals?

–  If one displays Emotional Maturity, does it influence people around them? If so, how?

– How can Emotional Maturity be learnt and built?

I hope to find answers to these questions, as I read and blog on this series on Emotional Maturity. I am equally sure that many more questions will be raised and hopefully they are answered too, in this journey.

I have always been fascinated by the teachings in the Upanishads, which is through a dialogue between the teacher and the student. Questions, answers and further questions and more answers, to impart knowledge.

Hence, this series of blogs on Emotional Maturity, will be in the form of a dialogue between two people, though these two people will NOT be a teacher and a student but two friends seeking to learn from one another.

Looking forward to these dialogues, which I am sure will be enriching..
