I Believe Maturity Comes With Experience, Not Age
Being old is like being intelligent or being rich - it opens doors both toward and away from wisdom.
Being intelligent can let you look more deeply at things to cut through pretense and find the truth, or it can make you think you're so smart that you already have the answers. Being rich can let you travel the world, take classes, and do a million other things that expand your experience of life, or it can take away your drive to reach for new horizons. Getting older is the same way - it gives you time to grow as a person, and to experience the events that expand your inner-world, but it can also make you more and more set in your ways, to the point where you stop trying to grow as a person.
