Learning is a sensitive process that allows us to adapt to the changing conditions of our world. I say 'our world' loosely, because we can alter our actions until we find the behavior that leads us to a better chance of survival with the promise of great rewards. Humans (at most times) can eliminate actions that have been proven unsuccessful in the past. Heck, without learning, there would be no buildings to sleep under, no agriculture to speak of, no lifesaving medicines... no human civilization.
The poor kid in the picture, however, is going to 'learn' a shocking lesson that he will soon not forget! But you see... that kind of learning is what we humans seem to learn best from... most kids don't listen to their parents. Most young adults seem to chase after the same guys and girls that best fits their previous ex. Hmm... let's think, s/he's your ex for a REASON. An endless torture cycle that seemingly can't be broken by free will alone... some shocking, life-altering experience MUST happen before the will to survive sets loose.
Pain is a quick teacher of little words. As mentioned above, we humans best learn through painful experiences, and place ourselves through similar situations expecting a different outcome. For being a self-proclaimed, higher intellectual being, we aren't the shiny coin in the pouch. I have my faults, some of which I'm just learning... you have yours, too. You may or may not know them... but under the daily stresses that we endure, those faulty patterns that we THOUGHT we taught ourselves are buried. These lost lessons in our lives seem to surface at very inconvenient times.
On a more personal note... I've learned one thing about a month ago that got me all tied up inside my head. After that, I als learned that having toilet paper is not well suited for blowing my nose... unfortunately, the nose on my face says something like "Hey!! You're getting me all red and bothered doing that, pal! Keep doing it, and I'll slap you into yesterday!" If that happened, I might chop the rotten thing of, but with a red nose, and having 'leprechaun' as a nickname... I look like a damn Kiebler elf!! But... I'd pay a red nose to get a good cry out... well worth it. *thumbs up*
Anywho... getting tired and I think I COULD say more, but I think I've learned my lesson to not stay up past my bedtime. Ugh, speaking of bedtimes, I need to reset my circadian rhythm AGAIN. It's so difficult to stay up sometimes. I swear, I need to set traps for myself so I stay up when I need to. Like bear traps... made of FUN NOODLES!!!! No, that wouldn't work, who am I kidding? I'd laugh too much then fall back to sleep. Damn... anyone care to share?
