Learning & Relearning

Learning starts from the minute we are born. One of the first things that we learn is to breathe on our own out side the comfort zone of our mothers womb.... Our first lesson learnt.... we move on and as we grow and as the years are added to our existence our process of learning keeps evolving.

During the course of life we learn to enjoy the materialistic as well as spiritual experiences. Our everyday interaction with people makes us understand them and most of the lessons learnt are common to all human beings, the difference lies in the way they were taught or learnt. Our parents try and protect us and pass on their experiences to us so that we have a well protected environment to adapt the tricks of surviving and living in this world.

BUT The fact of the life is that only self learning is what is referred to when ever we are faced with some of the most difficult circumstances . Its a high to be able to understand the complexities of life once you have gone through them yourself. We do so in our own space and comfort zones.
After a while we feel we have learnt most of thee survival techniques that will help us to sustain our selves in this unpredictable, completely chaotic forever demanding world.

Since learning is an ever evolving aspect of our life sometimes the lessons we learn make us cynical or may be they challenge our belief in ourselves --- thats the time when the same lesson has to be re-learnt. The process may be repetitive but the result often provides more value addition to us. Going through the same cycle of events to enhance our learning and experiential knowledge, Does not mean we are making the same mistake on the contrary it means that we are more in control and better equipped to handle the result even if it is disappointing. Its more like taking another chance in life and hoping this time the result will be positive and when they are not.... we have relearned the lesson with a new perspective... its a refreshers course and it keeps us updated with the latest belief so that we can enjoy our present and may be improve our future...

Whew! Read and reread the post. Love the last paragraph. It spells our struggles and the will to hold our own against the disappointments life dishes out. It gives one a feeling of hope and courage. Not to yield in, no matter what happens. What doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger, right? :)

Wow...life makes us cynical when we look at things in a cynical way is how i see it..just like the glass being either half full or half empty...

personally ,looking at an experience again thru one's mind is the right way to change one's perception or belief if you want to know another lesson or unveil another mystery one probably must have let slide in the busy world..
