Wrong. Even children learn, long before they would be considered mature,
that actions have consequences. The difference between immaturity and
maturity is that the mature person will go forward and carry out required
actions, even knowing that these actions may carry some undesirable
consequences.

Your pov seems to suggest we ought not attack those who attack us, lest we
aggravate them further. Frozen into inaction by fear, eh?
