SOMETHING to LEARN...


Have you ever woken up from sleep and you have a terrible headache? you get to the bathroom and you realise you have a pimple, you go for breakfast and the milk you put in the cereal has gone bad, you get to the bus stop and there is no bus in sight, worse yet, your bus lives you? you suddenly get the feeling the world is against you. "Its not my day" you say.
" whats the worst that can happen? "you think. you get to class and you have no idea why everybody seems to be too busy to help with this excersise that you cant seem to get! and you think "i wish this day could end" the only person who is nice to you, its possible to get an urge to snap at them just so they ask what the problem is.
Experience is the mother of all teachers, what better to know fire burns than gettin burnt a little. How better to know the importance of friendships than making and keeping friends?, how better to know of a broken heart until you experience it?Learn to understand your patterns of living. The friends you keep somehow reflect who you are, the phrases you use makes it possible to respect you or otherwise. Think about everytime you have felt betrayed.The questions that came to mind. And surely that question has been repeated in your mind in the peace of your heart and the silence of the world. To learn about the world you lose something. With every bit of knowledge you aquire there is something that gets lost in you, is there knowledge divine enough, pure enough to compensate for my soul should it get lost?
When we were all were younger we knew the basics, do not steal, do not lie, do not come home late, but now we modify all these because experience tells us different. Are we then becoming people without direction? Because sometimes experience tells you,"well you can steal, as long as no one gets hurt" or " you can lie, it protects other people from the ugly truth" and of course, "you can come home late no one will scold you" Perhaps what experience is trying to teach us is that, learn more about yourself do not immerse yourself in the pressures of the world, instead immerse yourself in your own soul. The world will revolve around you. Positive thoughts attract positive energy. Experience tells us so.
