Life is a series of over-corrections, because you're always wrong.

S: That's an overly pessimistic thought.

Just thinking about how we are always so obsessed about "learning" from our experiences, and how society does not agree with people who "just do not learn".

S: care to explain who this nebulous 'society' is?

what i mean is that theres nothing inherently wrong with people who make the same mistakes break the same laws and cause the same distress on those around them all the time. i have a colleague who is not very lets say inspired at his job. my boss thinks that he needs to grow. i think if not learning anything can still earn him a salary its a fine strategy.

S: I am surprised this is coming from you - it departs from your typical idealism

atypical is where i'm trying to go. i've always embraced change, cos i think change is inevitable and for me coming to terms with change is the most appropriate response - but there's always been this line i wouldn't cross - a part of me i wouldn't let go and allow it to change. i'm realizing that in order to embrace change, i need to be able to let go of even that part of me that thinks exactly that.
