A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life, knowing that in this world ''no one is all-knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity.'''

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life, knowing that in this world ''no one is all-knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity.'''" in the context of "Eleanor Roosevelt, You Learn by Living (1960), p. 63" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
