maturity is thinking thrice instead of twice. (i made this one up)

to grow up is to shut up. (this one too O_o)

...hickeys?? =))

maturity is not rhyming like a 2nd grade student.

haha! just kidding... i love them. they're quotable.

explain! maturity is taking time to think about your actions--thrice instead of twice? i agree with this. how about shutting up? shutting up--when its not diplomatic to speak? is that what you meant?

i_have_lj_wow May 26 2007, 13:29:14 UTC

hehe! thanks :)

um, yeah that's part of what i meant and also realizing that you learn more when you're not talking and learning more leads to growth and so forth...

i think maturity is when you take responsibility for your actions. :D

p.s. you're too serious. that's how you get old!

reasonandrhyme May 26 2007, 13:08:38 UTC

me? serious?! noooh.

Maturity for me is when we ask less questions.

Well you're more experienced now I can tell that.

HICKEYS?

reasonandrhyme May 26 2007, 13:04:02 UTC

Umm, lets pretend thats just a pretty alliteration, okay?

But aren't questions good things? Aren't questions what scientists ask as they investigate the mysteries of the world? Aren't questions integral for personal growth, whether you're five or fifty?

deniscope May 26 2007, 14:23:34 UTC

Yah but too much questions will mean ignorance.

Lets just say that there are "Mature" questions.

But maturity can be in many ways. Maturity in handling situations, maturity in a persons personality and stuff like that.

Hickeys? <----- I don't know enough hehehehe

what happened to the wisdom in "knowing that you do not know?"

or you do you disagree with socrates?

deniscope May 27 2007, 08:29:40 UTC

Yes but there are some things that you "Should" know

deniscope May 27 2007, 08:35:33 UTC

Oh and what i meant by asking less questions is knowing more meaning being more experienced.

Knowing you don't know is indeed an act of maturity but what that shows is that thinking that you know everything or not being open minded is a bad thing.

Thinking that you know everything is different from knowing many things or being wise.

By knowing more things, does that not in some way make us more mature, more developed in some way?
