Does It Really Matter?

We've given this quite a lot of thought over the past few days and there are a lot of arguments for and against. We must admit that we are a bit divided on the subject and although we agree on most things there are some things we just won't be able to talk to other people about because it would give a distorted view of what kind of person we really are.
To Estupido everything matters but it's not usually something she will take too seriously, whereas Discreto does not always think it matters but is sure to get very emotional about it. We can't quite figure out which is the best way to deal with it so the conclusion consequently becomes that it shouldn't really matter. The fact that we give it some thought is enough, even if the outcome of these thought-processes inevitably result in the view that it doesn't matter.

However, is it really possible to learn from something that doesn't matter. We think it is... well, one of us thinks it is and the other think it isn't although she can't quite explain why. In this particular situation we both think there might be something to learn, but agree that if there isn't, then it doesn't really matter anyway.
We will probably keep thinking about this for the rest of the evening, just to see if we can agree on the relevance, and if the outcome is positive we might be able to bring it up with somebody else tomorrow and have a proper discussion.

It doesn't really matter either way.
