There are certain areas in which we do know, we do know what we see and those ordinary thing that take place within life. Yet, when we set up our own self borders and feel that we know and for the one that believes they know all the answers. There comes a time where there is a humbling experience. Regardless of what we do, what we have done in the past. As the learning curve is never ending.
When you realize that you always have the answers within yourself, you can stop searching outside of yourself. I find that for the most part we tend to think we do have all the answer. Yet, I know even at this age, I don’t have all the answers. For that matter no one has all the answers within life. That is what makes life remarkable as for myself I have always seen life as a flow but at the same time I have always enjoyed listening and learning from other people. Some have been younger, some have been the same age, some much older. Today within my day, I never knew that Mark Twain’s real name was that of Samuel Clements. The man that runs these boats hear on the river had a discussion with me and I assisted him with one matter, while we sat down, I learned from him about the story of Samuel Clements, from Mississippi. Now that to me is rather cool just within itself.
Sometimes seeking answers come by way of how we merge with other folk. Maybe a decent manner does render the best and not always from the most educated people. However, even within this department while I entered and was en route to a certain place within the university, here a student finishing off her masters went out of her way to show me where to go. Manner they might very well go a long way. Yet, manners fall into character so perhaps this person was within a like able nature of sorts. University today looking for a certain person, which aided me with a some materials. Even when I ended up at the security unit, they went out of their way when I became lost and indicated the direction by way of a map. In addition, here she was not in but while I entered within this one building all the staff where more that happy to assist me. They asked what I was looking for and then you had a collage of people. But even before this, I had one person whom went out of his way to lead me to the right direction. Manners are applicable. Perhaps it's a two way street. Yet, there are contrasts to this as there have been people that think they are way up there and well that's a learning process as well. However, that's theirs for the bearing not mine. It’s funny how that works as I have known so many and the most educated sometimes never would have that time to just discuss. Possibly they were to busy, but for the most part I find that this come down to character.
Many of us seek the answers to life’s questions by looking outside of ourselves and trying to glean advice from the people around us. There are two sides to this I believe. We gain from those people that are around us. Trust certainly comes to be a factor but it’s, as deep within each one of us knows whom we wish to have encounters with and form large or small. The size is not that which is of importance it’s the ability to be flexible and render areas from others for myself and it has no predisposition to a certain type of person.
I have learned plenty from others – I suppose it is based on the demeanor that makes it reasonable.
It doesn't matter what I learn now days, I don't remember it anyway. That's what I have paper and pens for, to write down what is important, the rest I don't try to remember. I did know about Mark Twain's real name though, I think we learned that in about the 5th grade.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy to continuous learning - Nancy I don't think we ever stop learning. Neurologically your always learning something as if not there would not by synapsis going on.
ReplyDeleteOH! Talking about synapses, our exercise leader was talking about that one day and how we should incorporate different exercises every time because it opens those synapses. We tried it with our light hand weights and lifting one up and out to the side with one hand and the other hand going up and out to the front. It is a lot harder that it would seem to be, but she said that is what it takes to open synapses, trying new things that are complicated and if you do them enough it becomes easier.
ReplyDeleteWe can keep on learning in many areas since we can not be specialists in every field. Learning is a sign of life.
ReplyDeleteThere may not necessarily be one right answer to each question but on some deeper level, there is universal truth and I think that is represented by the helpfulness of those you encountered, the sharing, recognizing each other as fellow human beings.
It was Clemens. I really enjoyed his writing when I was younger. However, he was wrong about one thing--a girl will not necessarily make a a basket type form with her skirt in order to catch an object.
I am always learning and exploring.
ReplyDeleteThere are no perfect rights nor wrongs but we do rise to a higher plane. To aid is too love, and within the recongnition come the harmony which leads to a abundance of which ever or what ever matter. Some are specialists while some are generalists - yet the fruits of it all is the ableness to accept life as a learning endeavour. I think sometimes we learn without the thought of it DJ.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes Clemens - I would have never known and in a sense - I like that. The ablity to discover as I feel that life is a sign of learning. When learning of any matter endes it comes to being death of ones own soul. I know that would be applicable to myself.
Sharon, we are, you are, there is no doubt that there is a learned lesson or a process of learning within some manner. I learned the other day that I need 1000 ui of vitamin D, I learned that the 5 things yesterday. Most of all were all within a process without the notion of learning but it went along with what was within all I was doing.
ReplyDeleteI always look at the brighter sides of life. And always i go for character and attitude not much on the outside. Maybe because am just a simple person Jack. A person can be full of knowledge they can boast of, but only few have that heart ...
ReplyDeletetight hugs.
Aren't we all really simple and if not who is the elite? :)
