Lessons

 

            Many lessons we learn in life will stay the same, how we perceive the meaning can change. Many times we face similar upsets in life not because we didn't learn the first time, but because the lesson is supposed to bring another level of definition, we may fully comprehend what is to be learned from the first mistake, and then find the lesson comes again, this time to help us see it from a different perspective. Sometimes our mistakes are not supposed to teach us many different lessons, as much as they are supposed to help us understand one lesson in many different ways. A lesson doesn't necessarily have one simplified meaning; it can be viewed from different angles, at different times of our life. Perhaps to get to the conclusion of a mistake, we must journey through the many chapters of life, learning all there is to gain from one lesson, before moving on to the next.
