RE: How many times can you learn the same lesson?

in Reflections7 months ago (edited)

I think sometimes we do bad things until we learn that they are not good. It's the same with mistakes, we make mistakes until we learn from them.

Who decides what is good and what is bad? I think it's not something one decides but something that, after a while, becomes a kind of reality that cannot be denied. We don't decide, we just become aware of it.

Why do some people persist in wrongdoing? They just haven't realized it yet. Maybe sometimes we see their mistakes, just as sometimes we don't see our own. Maybe we've learned things they haven't, and vice versa. Everyone is different. Everyone is at a different place.

But I think at the end of the day, doing "bad" will not make us feel good inside. Bad is bad precisely because it harms us, and others, even when we don't realize and ignore that harm.

At least that's what I think.

Interesting thoughts. Cheers to you!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on that, I enjoyed reading them!

Yes, I feel like thats where sometimes things can seem unfair, or we can feel like we can get away with something. When in the end we are just not at the stage yet where we understand.

And also the next part, resonates a lot. Often easier to see it in others or in strangers and in ourselves.

Until next time then:)
