Didactic Disinfectant


Deciding to learn from one's own mistakes is probably one of the purest forms of education that a human being manages.

Watching other people fail, watching other people fall, watching other people cry, watching other people hurt is what reminds us that we are human - The lesson to learn is that failure is commonplace and is as inevitable as success.

A roll of a dice either way could mean so much to someone's life and at the same time it could leave someone else with very little.

To entertain ourselves, human beings constantly find new things to educate themselves in - Look at the plethora of lifestyles that human beings have invented to keep themselves busy.

In diet alone human beings categorise food according to religion, according to faith, according to politics, according to economics, according to fashion even, all these do is keep the mind busy with something as paradoxically intrinsic yet, socio-culturally in the west, has become benile.

If human beings can trivialize something so intrinsic to survival as food then imagine what other factors of existence could become so sanitized - Not all of them would have such a dichotomy though.

Human beings have in place a system, socially and culturally, whereby if something is suffering they can choose to end its existence to bring peace - In this case animals don't have the ability to help themselves due to how humans have domesticated, farmed and hunted them.

Human beings also have in place a system, socially and culturally, where by if someone is causing suffering to others they can collectively decide to end their lives and prevent more suffering - In this case a jury of peers can make sure that victim numbers don't multiply when a human turns on their own, very little attention is paid to the context in which these individual's have reached the point of taking life.

But human beings have yet to put into place a system, socially and culturally, whereby if another human being is in pain and can't end this pain, that another can do it for them.

Funny how the learning processes flow socio-culturally towards helping anyone and anything but ourselves.
