The Value of Experience. Entry One.

ex·pe·ri·ence
n. The apprehension of an object, thought, or emotion through the senses or mind
Just trying to make sense of the impression of past experience, i.e. memories, that this conciousness is attempting to graple with.

Dont really know how to introduce this entry, but these are a few questions I've been pondering that begged this contemplation about experience.

1) What is the point of travelling? What is the point of pursuing intense experiences when memories of the experience would fade anyway?

2) What is the point of education? And the point of learning something abstract that you may never use later on in life?

3) How does one reconcile differing opinion, when every person possesses a unique set of believes? What makes one sure of his believes, and is there an absolute scale upon which we can compare who is right when there are differing opinions?

1. Memories of the adventure may fade, but the moments where the beauty of the situation just overwhelms you is what makes them worth it.


2. education is learning to learn and to persevere.

3. you cant, and thats why the world is what it is today
