I don't care what you mean by mature, unless you mean lacking in any of the characteristics which distinguish humans from computers. No matter how mature they are, people have both needs and wants, those needs and wants will intersect with the needs and wants of other people, and at some point, no matter how mature they are, two people will occasionally find those intersections develop into conflicts and will not within the two of themselves be able to resolve the conflict to the satisfaction of both. They will either need the services of a third person (a lawgiver) or one will exert his will over the other, either by use of superior force or by use of superior intellect, and the other will feel abused. And if you believe otherwise, you don't know much about people, no matter how you define mature.
