Our life experiences are similar to a roadmap. And if things have become a bit overwhelming, you may return to a simpler time. If you can remember how you got here, you might find your way back.............Ethos

In his book, 'How to win friends and influence people' Dale Carnegie says, "A man convinced against his will

[Ethos_ (OP)]

Time has a way of teaching us new things and hopefully, it gives us good reason to improve the accuracy of our grasp on reality. If these changes don't take place in our understanding of things, it can be reasoned that or lives have been wasted. Don't be afraid to change your mind when evidence suggests such, your ego will recover in due time.

Or as Eddington put it: "The student of quantum physics must become accustomed to having his common sense violated six times before breakfast."

In the short story by Tolstoy, 'The Death of Ivan Ilyich', Tolstoy suggests that men only learn when they endure suffering.

If we concede to this notion, we are then faced with the question:

How sincere are we regarding the truth and the effort required to experience it?

Never be afraid to admit your errors. By doing so, you give opportunity for truth to reign......................Ethos

You seem to be having a nice time with your one-line philosophies Ethos.

Quite a fantastic time I must say!

BTW,.... as to my last one-liner........as you have so eloquently put it.

If we never recognize our errors, we have no hope of ever learning anything new. Maybe you didn't quite get the message I was trying to send. It may also be true that I was in error to word it the way I did. I shall try to learn from that mistake.

In any case, I appreciate the .......INTEREST.......? you've shown in these one-liners.

Be careful when tip-toeing blindfolded thru the tulips, you may find yourself in the barnyard with something stinky on your shoe!

Jealously is a genuine indicator of low self esteem.
Rarely does anyone become jealous of those they feel equal to.

There's an old saying: "Time waits on no one."

When considering the passage of time, young people view things a bit different than us old folks.

When I remember my youth, it seemed that; "time was taking it's time."

Now, in my later years; "time is becoming very impatient."

[Karen W.]

That seems pretty accurate in my life also....
