Maturity is achieving a state where one no longer registers surprise or disillusionment or doubt over evidence that depravity exist, or of the kinds of things humans are capable of inflicting in the way of gruesome, hands-on cruelties upon other humans.
Maturity is knowing where one's craziness lies, trying to warn other of the fact and striving to keep oneself under control.
