PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHT(1)

Have you ever noticed that our level  of curiosity tend to shoot up when we are asked not to touch or do something?
Imagine,you come back home extremely hungry and as you enter the house, you perceive delicious aroma wafting through the kitchen. You are already salivating in anticipation ,only to be given a stern warning that is likely to attract heavy punishment,  not to touch the food!

Imagine your frustration each time your stomach rumble, you look at the food, yet you can not eat it!
The world is a stage, so is human development. In each of  this stage ,we are expected to LEARN or UNLEARN somethings that will push us successfully unto the next one; unfortunately, we either learn half the information or we learn the the wrong one or we don't learn at all! sometimes we learn the life lessons accurately and then we are pushed on to the next phase of our life. This process continues until we get to that phase where we begin to make decisions on our own,suddenly, we find out we know little or nothing about  what we are supposed to do. We then begin to depend on information we glean from others which may not rightly suit our present situation.

The good news about this, is that we never grow old in learning. For us to be able to move on from past mistakes and hurts,we have to go back deep into the years of traditions,ideas, attitudes,ideals,environmental perceptions that WRONGLY shaped us,allowed us to have stereotyped and contorted ideas and belief system that we have held on to from our earliest years till now some of us are adults. It isn't going to be easy trying to unlearn some of the thing we thought were right because they were imposed on us or we learnt them ourselves, it might even look like a betrayal  of ourselves or our parents or even our environment, but like the proverbial wine skin. if we continue with our very old wine skins of how things should be done; then BOOM! you go like a volcano when your very old wine skin can't take in some new and fresh wine.

Lastly can we make conscious effort to learn new things? you may not know until we give it a try! next I would be sharing some of the things I have learnt.
