It would be nice to be human again...

A few days back, me and my very good friend mayuri, were talking about maturity. It was one of those kind of conversations, where we are really serious, and try to show how mature we are. But still we talked a great deal, and still there were no answers to some questions, which a normal busy person wouldnt have asked, but people like me love to ponder upon.
What is maturity? i mean, when does a person exactly becomes mature, and in what way?. is it really that important, people say that children are gods gifts. Isnt it because of the simplicity and purity through which they act and think. Of course one cant expect to stay a child all his life, and its not advisable also, but that is not the point of contention here. What i am asking is, is that wether the process of maturity involve degradement of that purity of thought, through experiences of all kinds, until the child becomes ready for the world? that generally involves, losing trust in one an all around us, losing our hopes and expectations, and most importantly the zeal to know and understand things. There can be different cases, people may say its not so with them, but then it isnt possible.
Ultimately we are so preoccupied with the social boundaries and beahvioural modes, that we forget to live for ourselves. Its normally always a desire to be accepted into society, and one who doesnt follow the rules, becomes an outcast. That is when 2 face, and liar, and other such 'upaadhis' are given unto people. By other such people only.
I have been constantly trying to fit in the 2 worlds, being true to myself, and to the people around me, and making it one person. But its difficult, and sometimes i see myself slithering back into that old mould. I guess it will always be a tussle
