Been trying to figure that one out for awhile. Just thinking.

Re: When I'm I old enough to know better?
I'm old enough to know better, but still too young to care!
I WILL NOT let consequences dictate my course of action!

A.K.A - Aresh, Awakened Me, An Ominous Coward (Howard), The Goddess Pandora, Aumon Haht Fith Ashai, Within The Flower and a few others...
------------------------------------

In all things, i am flowing back thru and in and out, within and without and beyond them.

This is the Cosm. This is both I and You.

I am the Truth, and I am the Lie - I am the very spark of the Divine!


------------------
as soon as you even go near these things your ego knows what it is.. its all like "what ya gonna do with that?" "Hope you not gonna take it" "cause i will throw myself down on the floor and scratch, claw and bite and tantrum" - Kyuubi


"the gift of love makes much more sense than frankincense gold and myrhh" - Only Me

Like getting upset at the simple stuff.
Like honking my horn on a 3 mile traffic jam.

Sometimes we repeat the same mistakes by choice.

In a persons mid twenties, their brains will finally finish developing, and in particular the ability to inhibit a reaction will reach final growth, which causes a three times longer pause before taking novel action.

This means that you get more time to think and process what you are doing as a full adult than as a younger adult or child.


At that point you are "Old enough to know better". :)(Because you will literally have more time to decide what you are going to do. It makes a huge difference!)

Seriously however, it is a phrase most often used to mean "I didn't want you to do that! Why did you do that when I didn't want you too!" using age as a reason why you should have reacted in the manner that is desired.

The concept of Maturity is similar. In conventional use, the term indicates not age but rather doing what the observer thinks of as the correct, or at least A CORRECT thing to do in a given situation.

This is modified by sociocultural conditioning, but the mature option is almost always to agree with what I would have liked you to do.

Be well friend.

And all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "save us!"

And I'll look down and whisper "No."

Re: When I'm I old enough to know better?
He’s a rebel and a runner
He’s a signal turning green
He’s a restless young romantic
Wants to run the big machine

He’s got a problem with his poisons
But you know he’ll find a cure
He’s cleaning up his systems
To keep his nature pure

Learning to match the beat of the old world man
Learning to catch the heat of the third world man

He’s got to make his own mistakes
And learn to mend the mess he makes
He’s old enough to know whats right
But young enough not to choose it
He’s noble enough to win the world
But weak enough to lose it —
He’s a new world man…

He’s a radio receiver
Tuned to factories and farms
He’s a writer and arranger
And a young boy bearing arms

He’s got a problem with his power
With weapons on patrol
He’s got to walk a fine line
And keep his self-control

Trying to save the day for the old world man
Trying to pave the way for the third world man

He’s not concerned with yesterday
He knows constant change is here today
He’s noble enough to know whats right
But weak enough not to choose it
He’s wise enough to win the world
But fool enough to lose it —

He’s a new world man…
