Maturity and Experience... can it really be measured????

Every individual has different life experiences. So no one is entitled to judge any person basing on their experiences and level of maturity.

As the eldest in the family, we are bound by expectations from our parents and relatives. At an early age, we are asked to look after our siblings. If you can read, write and count already, we are asked to help in the business. And we can’t say no or else …

These have advantages and disadvantages though. Advantages… we learn to be responsible, learn the rope of the family business, and learn to be practical. But there are disadvantages too… we think that our freedom is suppressed as we can’t play after school because we have to help in the business ; even having a social life is restricted.

I have nothing against this kind of experience; actually it helped me a lot to have a wider perspective in life, to gain maturity, and probably a lot more. Who wouldn’t if you are exposed to an adult life at a young age, right?
