Lessons and Education

I have learnt a lot about myself, social groups, and people in general over the past few months. Through it all I have come to better understand myself and accept myself for who I am.

What I have learnt does not come through the conventional schooling system, but through other 'classes' of education. These can come in many forms and can include personal understanding, emotional intelligence, creativity, entrepreneurship, and religous studies. Despite the lack of teaching, these classes of education are as important, if not more so, than the standard intrinsic model of education.


Even though I have learnt many lessons, I am still susceptible to tough times. This is a human characteristic - we all are susceptible whether we like it or not.

In times like these, voicing our concerns and situation is emotionally beneficial. It clarifies who we are, what the situation is, and where we are going. We hear our raw emotions. We sense our real feelings. We see the clear difference there is between heart and mind.

I did just that two days ago and penned them down.

"Am I getting too obsessed with such small matters?
Is my heart that weak?
All I feel is this lingering sadness.
I push it to one side and it comes back."

It takes time. It takes resolve. To deal with these matters. Knowing yourself, voicing the problems, and developing solutions in due course helps.
