Hi Lilly!
Can I ask you a bridge for evaluation, please? Thanks in advance.

"The purpose of life is the maturing of the soul"

Can be also "maturity" instead of "maturing", Lilly?

"maturing" in the sense of "development/transcendence"

Thank you, dear Lilly.

So, I think "maturare" would be better here, because it idicates some process, not a result like "maturitas". Do you agree, dear Alex?

Of course I do, pani profesor

Would "animum maturare" be better than "maturare animum" ?

Yes, it would.
You know I'm not sure if we can use accusative here. If the verb becomes a gerund (=a noun) it can take another grammatical case. I think that the genitive is needed here.
We don't ask "what is maturing", but "of what this is maturing"...

Then does "animum maturandi" convey the source?

No, no... I ment that the gerund should take the genitive here: "animi maturare".

I've never seen this use of the genitive.
But of course I believe it.

No, I'm wrong, dear. Leave it like it is, please, but with the different order. I'm sorry for my mixing up. I need a rest I think.
