Have you ever been at a place in your life where you weren't quite sure what to think of yourself and others? Exactly why it is you're doing some of the things you're doing or have done? I know you have because everyone must cross this path sooner or later. With a notion that everything you have done or was somewhat logical or slightly ethical at that particular point in time. Now, the people who think they know everything and everything are the ones who will also say they have never second guessed anything they have done and have done it all in a conscious, morally righteous state of decision making mind.... right.....keep telling yourself that as you make your gradual decent in what would appear to be an image being rewound.
Making mistakes and discovering new things is what being a human being in life is all about. We have to learn from our environment, things that happen to us, occurrences that take place and then progress forward with the knowledge we gather from what has been (more or less) consumed. People such as John Locke and David Hume called this Epistemology, the learning of knowledge through experience. We fall down, we get up. Why did I fall? Can I correct this particular incident so that it doesn't happen this way again? Did it teach me anything else about myself and the way I go about things physically, emotionally and mentally?? You bet your bottom dollar it did. I (as of now) strongly believe in Epistemology and the idea that we learn things through experience. Some could argue that knowledge is already inside us, meaning we are born with it and we just unfold it as we go. Reading is a great way of learning new things about ANY subject, but you can't read about boxing and know what it's like to be in the 5th round of a title fight unless you've been in a fight like this before. Reading can only take you so far, but some of the most intellectual and smartest people I have ever met are consistent readers.I myself and starting to read A LOT more to further my knowledge in carious subjects.
In my personal opinion there are two only two types of people in the world when it comes to matters of these, and that is the people who have the discipline to strive for their dreams to reach them by any means necessary, and then those who don't, those who go through life only searching for ways to make more and more money while they 'succeed' at a socially inept level. We all know these people because the world consists mostly of them.
