One of the better things i've read about this is
B.K.S. Iyengar's stuff - though it's more focused
on spiritual growth than mental.

When we are younger we tend to be dominated by
sexual energy. As we age and sex drive becomes
less we can learn how to focus that energy.

How does a person react, who is mentally mature?

often with non-judgement, accepting things as they are,
people as they are - yet still working to make things better.
Usually not aggravating situations.

How does he look at life?

Perhaps more philosophically than a when he was younger.



What does he regard as the purpose of life?

Probably to make a contribution to the world and protect
his family.

What are his values?

lifetime learning.

and what is rather worthless for him?

Strife, violence, pride, war.

Balance in life is the answer, to being mature. If people think about what I just said it makes a world of sense

Hey Anna. It appears that youre new around here; welcome to WF!

I believe that one who is mentally mature does not act irrationally. They have learned from the environment around them and wisely analyze the reasons behind an action and understand the consequences of their own actions before responding.

His view on his personal life may vary depending on the nature of his life. However, I feel that he has a positive outlook on life in general, and believes that most should.

As to his regards.. probably something along the lines of striving to live life to its fullest while being an ethical being. He does not view success in monetary terms, but views success in how a person influences his surroundings and makes a positive impact.

His values are family, friends, helping others in need, having a strong belief in something. As I've said, monetary value, power, position, etc are all irrelevant unless used towards making a stronger positive impact in life. If one's rise to the head of a corporation with the goal of using this position to effect the entire nation or globe with this power, then those power ambitions would be considered good.

What do y'all think about my ideas?

In my case it means senility!
