THE SOURCES OF LEARNINGS

Whatever man-made things we have now are products of the learnings of humanity from generation to generation. From the smallest things to the biggest, from the simplest to the most complicated, and from the most crude to the most modern technologies, they exist because of what people learned to continue living amidst the challenges and difficulties of this world of ours.

However, learnings did not just enter without reasons as we all know. Varied experiences had been the sources of such knowledges in the form of ideas, principles, theories, and whatever grasped by human awareness. The experiences may be bad or good considering varied moral viewpoints of similar or different cultures. Good experiences could boost while bad experiences could teach and remind us of what to avoid next time - as many would say "experience is the best teacher".

Experiences can be personal or vicarious. Personal is dealing with "own experiences" while vicarious is more of the "experiences of other people". Hence, by being aware of what is happening around us and within each of our lives, the birth of learning is consequential which is worthy of sharing for the common good.

This blog then would be dealing with our learnings from experiences that resulted to what we have and what we would be having more to continue living, not just existing.
