You Just Never Learn
Daily Meditation #136 — 7/8/2022
Would you pay to retake a course you passed? No!
Would you reorder a meal you disliked from a restaurant you had a bad time in? Nope!
Would you get another of the same car after the first was a lemon? Nuh-uh!
How about sitting through a movie you hated? No way!
After getting terribly sick eating something, would you try it again?
No, no, no.
Because we learn our lesson.
So why, then, do you not learn when it comes to dating, befriending, or being around narcissists and liars?
You paid for these lessons about these sorts through time, emotions, money, energy — every resource, really.
No, you can’t “Fix them.”
So learn the lesson!
