Life is about more then just actions, it is more then just a flip of a coin and choosing one way or another. Once you made your decision, the most important part is dealing with it. Being honest in word with friends and family, loving in actions towards all, and being mature and confident in what you are deciding. If there are consequences (and there always are), you must be a man and look them in the face to deal with them. Life is difficult, and is a constant learning process. No one will ever be perfect or learn it all, and everyone will make a bad or wrong choice somewhere along the road. I have made plenty, and in my climax of immature life in the past, I dealt with things the wrong way, and hurt people along the way. I knew it wasn't the right thing to do, but I wasn't able or willing to grow up and be mature at that point in my life. Yet, seeing the way it affected people, that the smallest things you do can leave a huge stamp on someone else's life, makes you realize that running away isn't the answer. I like to think I have matured in the last few years, but it is a process. I like to think I am going through my "coming of age"stage now, so who knows where I will end up. Only God.
I agree with you that the decisions a person makes can impact his or her life significantly. People don't always make the best choices; its hard to do the mature thing all the time. I think what defines a person's maturity is how he or she deals with the decision that he or she made. You can run away from the problem or deal with head on despite how unappealing that may be.
