Meditative thought of the day...
Sometimes We Learn From Others, Sometimes We Learn On Our Own
Not all wisdom comes from a perspectival type of knowing. In much the same way as we stand on the shoulders of those that came before us to achieve great scientific heights, we should stand on the shoulders of those that came before us to achieve great moral, spiritual and intellectual heights.
In this spirit, what are three things that you were taught and how did the gift of that knowledge improve your life?
Secondly, who in your life is significantly older than you, and therefore has more experience than you, that you can you spend time with, in the hope of uncovering more knowledge and understanding as you develop a friendship?
Younger people need a relationship with elders to have a chance to gain knowledge and thereby live a happier life. Elders need a relationship with the youth to help give meaning in their lives through passing down knowledge they have learned.
