A few years back I developed this passion for learning life lessons. As a beginner, just as I suppose you know that passion is high at the beginning, I was so passionate about every lesson I learnt. I even lost my own freedom and happiness, dedicating all my life to learning and thinking, thinking that this was the right way to do it.
But today, I know of a better way to learn, to live as a scholar of life;
- You don't have to loose you freedom while learning from a school called life because freedom is one of the topics you are meant to learn and put into practice.
- You do not have to undermine your happiness while learning because happiness is one of the motivating forces that will help you be a good scholar of life.
But...
- Sometimes you've got to undermine you freedom to learn certain lessons; this applies in many ways, so sometimes you've got to do it...
- As for your happiness, how will you learn lesson of unhappy people when you live all you life happy? It's true that there is know one that has lived all his life happy without any moment(s) of sadness, but sometimes you've voluntarily got to deny yourself the things that make you every happy so that you can learn from unhappiness.
You see, all scholars and educators of life will tell you which things are right, if they are right anyway, but many times they won't teach you how to learn from your own life though they may or will recommend it, or how to be happy with the way you live your life... because they don't even know how you live. Many of them live or have lived miserable lives, trying to discover new principles and facts [of] everyday, and the things they teach only lead your life into living like them... miserable!
So friends, Live your life. Learning takes time, so don't strain yourself trying to do what one wise man calls right or good. Be happy and enjoy your freedom and happiness, your life... This is what is right... you can live without many things, including what is almost killing you to learn... you make yourself the kind of person you want to be, and not the kind of people a wise saying requires of you...
This way of living is more satisfying...
