learning

Learning is what we do from the beginning of our existence to the time when we leave this world for another. I may of wrote about this before but not sure. I do know that as we progress through the very early years it is clear that what we door learn might affect us for the remainder of our lives and we just go on. Learned that hey I have to leave home in the early morning and return later in the afternoon. Head for a huge building with lots of other curious individuals and sit in a crowded room. There we learn about a teacher who will give us instructions on many things and thus we begin our lives as students and must go for 12 years at least. We grow up and be with maybe the same peers until we finally have to leave and graduate. After that we make our own ways and go on our separate ways. if we have mastered what the teachers have taught us great and we have done something maybe our parents will be delighted with. Otherwise maybe they just do not fully give a care and we will then begin to think about our own life and what we will do when we have children. It is something that goes on every where in this universe.

My parent as mentioned before has given us what she called the basics and we had better learn that or once we are given the boot out the dorr we are on our own and no one will give a care as we are informed. It does seem that well who does care. Once we have learned to take care of ourselves it does not matter. Once we learn how to shop, cook, wash our clothes and the many other things needed in life we are what we are and this is it my friend. We need to find a job and work thus providing input into our lives until we retire. Maybe along the way we meet and learn how to love and what love really means. As we progress in this we find that just maybe we will end up like our parents getting married and having kids ourselves. Thus we continue to learn. This is a process repeated many times.

I've learned how to deal with tragic things in life and what are the outcomes. Yes, one is death and learned that we all have to face this one regardless if we like it or not and then well who knows what. Learned that not everyone is honest so we must be more careful in our dealings with others. Learn who to trust and not to trust. yep this is important my friend. Learn that people are people and dthey have feelings as well. In other places of the world there are individuals who like me want the same thing out of life. They want to be happy to have a good job and to see the world if at all possible. Thus the ball gets passed on and we then enjoy what we can. Learning can be fun in this way. As I have lived here in China a number of years have learned how to take a local bus to get me to the shopping center. Learned how to shop for food, clothes and other needed items. learned where the good restaurants are as well as what foods are good or bad for you. Learned how to understand my neighbors and be their friend. Learned how survive in a foreign land as well as to try and keep myself safe. Learning is a life long thing so enjoy what you learn and be happy.
