This immaturity stems from one’s lack of patience and uncompromising attitude which goads the person to expect nothing but the very best from others.  Such individuals, while pointing-out the shortcomings of others, fail to realize that most of the so-called failings may not be there in the first place, and just exist in their over fertile minds. And even if they DO exist, in some of the cases, what’s wrong with that?

Ask yourself honestly: are you really perfect, with no shortcomings? Chances are that you would become conscious that you have more failings than most of the others around you. Then ask: are others losing their cool over your strange behavior and attitude? Chances are that they may not. Most of the affected people could just be ignoring your unreasonable and uncompromising conduct -- only to maintain a cordial relationship with you, and maybe, because they love you.

If this were the case, why are YOU losing your cool and becoming unforgiving over small mistakes made (most of the time, unknowingly & unintentionally) by others, more so your mate? Why are you criticizing and irritating your loved ones by being over critical?

Relationships are like plants; they need the water of love and soil/manure of understanding to grow and prosper. So, the next time around when something or someone annoys you and you feel like giving the involved person a piece of your mind, pause and think: is this really the right thing to do? Does your action solve any positive purpose? Is being unforgiving in the overall interest of your relationship with that special person with whom otherwise you may have a very personal and intimate relationship?

I am sure that if you really mull over all this, you would learn to behave in a mature and much better way, and not harm your loving relationship with your near and dear ones -- especially your close family members and your life-partner. And, won’t this be great and something, which deep inside, you may have wanted all your life?
