Experience and Knowledge

Lot of people assume experience is directly proportional to knowledge. It is not so. The equation holds good only for those who choose to learn from their experiences. In most of the cases they simply refuse to consider this. People never acknowledge the fact that they can be wrong. And when confronted with the hard reality they become explosive. This refusal to accept the truth about our limitations is the binding force which impedes our growth. I was once like this. After going through tough and sometimes unbearably hard times, I have learnt to understand and accept this fact. This is not giving into weakness, but rather a strength. To know and acknowledge one's limitations can be a turning point in one's life. This understanding has made me look into every person I come across in life in both light and dark; to accept them, love them and sometimes hate them.   ¶ 10:00 PM
