Maturity.

Pity shouldn't be used on the stupid.

New motto, because it is so true. Why waste your breath comforting someone who knows exactly what they're doing -- but continues doing it?

I got into an interesting debate today; maturity versus immaturity. How can one actually judge it?

In my opinion, maturity is accepting what life gives you, whereas immaturity is trying to find a way to change what you can't simply handle. My friend is on the other end of the spectrum, as he claims it's the other way around.

But in reality, is it? If you know someone is going to end up disappointing you, because they disappointed you before, why talk to them? Aren't you just setting yourself up to fall, especially since you already know what that person is capable of? Of course you could give the person the benefit of the doubt, and claim that they won't -- but that's just immaturity, straight up.
