Between growing up, and growing old

Recently, I got myself into a mess. A mess which started as something that has nothing to do with me. But, since I'm a hopeless busy-body, I got myself in the crossfire. And wow, what an eye-opening experience. Through the period (still going through it, by the way) I get to see, and experience myself, how the creature called human acts. From it I gauge my own maturity, as well as people who were involved in the situation. And it got me thinking, "Here I am, in this kind of situation, and I see people older than me acting way immature than I am, and people younger than me, acting more matured than I can ever imagine myself acting. Why is it so? Shouldn't older people act more matured, since they have more experience?"

So what actually denotes someone's maturity? Mindset? The book they read? The way they talk? How they talk about others? I guess my reading is still far from sufficient...
