LIFE: Learning

A man is brought into this world, where he knows nothing, but he grows in a Society where he adapts and learns the culture and the norms. He is taught the difference between right and wrong, about the world, about his beliefs, about etiquettes and manners, his conduct.

However, during this process of learning and adaptation, one should not forget one’s own identity. One should not let other people take decisions for him and force their opinions on him. He should learn the way to discern the truth from falsehood and then choose the path for himself on his own. As it says “Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind” (Romans 14:5), God wants us to see the facts around us and use our logic to determine the way for us. It is a sign to not let other people coerce us into making decisions not beneficial for us, and if there have to be decisions that go wrong, they should be our mistakes, something we learn from and not repeat again.
