You live, you learn
You live, you learn. A
pretty enigmatic sentence, totally opposed to the social vision of
knowlenge, which ould have to be taught at school. But learning
doesn’t mean to accumulate knowlenge, but to build up one throught
experience. It is with this definition that we can assume that living
in learning. Indeed, life is experiences, a ton of it. Let’s just
assume you woke up, but are way too tired to get off you bed. This is
an experience of course, but it as well is a way to learn that your
body’s weakness can affect your mental motivation. But this ain’t
enough : if you are not conscious of theese kind of things, you
can not learn from then. So, thinking about the events you went
throught is learning, and the knowlenge of yourself, the others and
the world will increase throught time.
Nevertheless,
we could very well be opposed to this idea, by a very simple and easy
observation : if you take two teenagers of let’s say 16 years
old, the will probably not seem as mature. This is due to the
precedently mentionned consciousness, or not, of the causes and
consequences of every action we take. If I do without thinking, I
will not learn of it and so I won’t mentally grow. This is the
whole point. For sure, if you live, you learn, but if you don’t
learn, you don’t grow. This creates a great opposition between the
body, that will never stop aging and the mind, that can always
elevate to higher spheres. This is why knowlenge is universal, and
doesn’t depend on your age, sex or nationality : if living is
learning, and sice I assume you are still alive, you can learn of
each of your actions. But world is complex, and the more you know,
the more you realize how deep you can dig on each subject, and how
confusing it can be. It is at this moment that most people start
reding. Books, indeed are the main way to transform some seemingly
pointless actions into very intereting and formative experiences.
Social sciences, psychology, classical sciences, art, economy… all
of them reflect a part of our reality, all of them are infinite
sources of knowlenge that no one can claim as thier. This is the
power of knowlenge : the is no king, no master on it, and this
is why you can keep learning and growing throughtout your whole
life : no one can never stop you from learning if you are alive,
so just make sure you study your actions like a colorful painting,
some technical mistakes, some good points, a reveal of emotions ;
such things simple introspection can’t make you know. So, think
about it, and take advantage of the « you live you learn »
to keep growing up everyday.
