Top Ten Things People Should, but Probably Will Never, Learn From
Humans are supposed to be the most intelligent creatures on Earth...so why do we hardly ever learn by our mistakes. Pretty silly, huh?This list may seem cynical but it's just how it is and I'm sorry (a word I'll probably repeat again at some point)
History repeats itself and we know it. Humanity has fallen for many mistakes that had already been made, and it will probably fall for more.
Why do we never learn? Making the same mistakes time and time again. Why can't we just say "okay...that was bad. Not going there again." But we don't.
This is why I find love hard.
Gah! All the time! We say some pretty stupid, tactless or embarrassing things sometimes and as soon as they leave our lips, we regret them! But does it stop us from committing a verbal catastrophe again (possibly even later in the day)? I don't think so...
Every time I say something stupid, I just wish I can learn to shut up.
I can totally relate to this!
Surely if we watch other people fall something will kick in inside of us to not follow in their footsteps - but no, we not only try their shoes on but we trip over our own feet because of it.
A lesson: Never try on other peoples' shoes...
I absolutely hate it when people break promises.
I don't break promises, I merely have a rethink.
We say sorry all the time. But do we always mean it? If we did, we wouldn't have to keep repeating it.
It's true everyone say sorry but they actually didn't mean it
I put this last because some of us actually do learn from this after we watch the affect it can have on others...
But there are still some foolish people out there who will NEVER learn.
This NEVER happens to us higher-order thinkers, because...I'd like a Whopper, fries and an...oil change, please... don't... feed the monkeys, madam, but in the morning, I'll be sober.
We will surely never learn if we constantly rely on others. We need to stand alone to make our own mistakes (again and again and...see a pattern forming here)?
