I dont know, I think its hard to understand what constitutes maturity when you arent "mature" yet, and conversely, its kind of mind-boggling to realize just how naive we were once we DO mature.....

I hear you. In our society I don't think you are really mature until after 30. It takes a long time! Maybe it's because we have to undo so much? Maybe we're not taught the right stuff in school? Perhaps a lot of it is just human nature mixed with the high pace that is thrown at us without a user manual.
