Generosity as the definition of maturity

I spend an extraordinary amount of time on social media these days, observing various actors. 

There seems to be a huge conflation between generosity and maturity. These are often conflated, perhaps because maturity is associated with the parental role, which facilitates the development of relatively helpless children. Maybe that is an acceptable paradigm. 

An alternative is to dissociate maturity from generosity, instead associating maturity with capability. This is not a popular view. 

the good people

there are not enough good people in the world. 

a good person :

... does not prioritise their friends and family over others

... does not experience excitement when presented with many similar copies of the same data 

... understands the common structure between minerals, vegetables, and animals

... has no regard for ideas for their own sake

... has no regard for the esteem of others

... is intrinsically happy with life and death on a daily basis

altogether, there are simply not enough good people in the world. and i will be the difference, because i am bored and have nothing else to do with my life

Boredom x Taste

In relationships, people often don't realise :

"I am bored" means "you have bad taste" 

"I found a more interesting option" means "you had bad taste, long enough for me to do something about it"
