Real Experiences vs Taught Experiences

A taught experience can only inform of the perils you may be faced with only logistically. You can be told it will hurt, you can be told what effects it will have on your life.

The best way we learn things is with emotional tagging. It embeds things into us a great deal as we become emotional vulnerable and able to have our logic constructs rewritten.

A real experience has all the facets needed in order to make a huge impression on a person. It has the emotional trauma, the detailed emotions that go into it, the detailed consequences that you will live out.

So if you really want to learn something... go do things and get the experience. I can only tell you so much but you probably need to feel it.

If I said that being shot really sucks and hurts really bad you would not be fully aware of what it actually is like as the details are lacking and are not a common experience you feel all the time. Sometimes you must be burned in order to feel the full fury of the experience and have your life changed forever. Hopefully in a positive direction but we can only hope so much.

New Experiences

Life is all about experiences. Do you like living a copy of the day before over and over again? Sure you might have something awesome to do but it still sucks doing it all the time. Life is awesome when you do new things.

Experiences will teach you things books and others cannot relay to you. The experiences will be there for a lifetime. They are stories that you and your life generate that can be retold for years on end. The more extreme the experience the more extreme the lessons you learn.

The hardest thing I have found to do in life is the things you are afraid of. Most people are afraid of a few things here and there such as swimming or whatever. A general fear though among most humans is talking to new people...sober. It is difficult to get over that rejection. However the more you do the more you learn about not just others but about yourself.
