What is the greatest lesson you've learned in life?

[mjalali]

We've all lived for quite some time. We've all learned one or two lessons that have truly stuck with us. What are your one or two big lessons?

That's a really great question, and what I've learned is that we're not here just as individuals; we're here as part of our species which purpose is to procreate as much as possible. And when we finally learn to realize that we as individuals apart from the herd are unique and have purpose, too, each and every one of us, then we can make our lives have meaning. It's up to each one of us to create that meaning for ourselves.

One of the main things I’ve leant in recent years is, just because a person is really important to me it dosn’t mean that I am to them

Patience,understanding and not to be critical . I was lacking in all of these in my younger years. These days I hate when people say someone made poor choices. How do you know? Have they walked in their shoes?

THIS ^^^^ What other people think of me is none of my business nor what they think of anyone else. Everyone is dysfunctional to a certain extent. They just are better at hiding it than others .

[Trade]

Be yourself.
