Life is fraught less for the thoughtless - painless for the brainless.
Sure. Right.
Experience is the best teacher, but its lessons are preferably learned by observing somone else's experience. Days are filled with advice received from the well intentioned, lessons are learned by others around, and then there are Things That Happen To Me. First is hearing of somone else's experience (secondhand experience), second, the experiences of those around me, and lastly, personal headlong run-ins with Experience. I blog to give me a chance to think over events and concepts, hopefully to understand things better in the context of time. Not to mention the psychological relief that comes after I vented.
So, I know I will gain experience, hopefully from others.
