Maturity

Merely passing along wisdom that was passed to you by elders is lazy and ordinarily not sufficient.  Rather, you should strive to expand upon that knowledge base so that when the time comes for you to pass that same tranche of wisdom on to younger generations, it has grown in stature and become enhanced in some way, shape, or form.  Such is the only way a society and humanity as a whole will grow and flourish.  Moreover, this is not just an individual’s prerogative; it is every individual’s cultural OBLIGATION.  Accordingly, expanding upon yesterday’s database is an ironclad responsibility that is incumbent upon every member of a society and certainly not merely a frivolous option to be considered if the circumstances surrounding you happen to be amenable at a convenient point in time.
