I made this observation on my previous website as an afterthought buried deep in a long article. When it is placed in the context of this body of work I noticed how important it would have been to learn much of what I write here at that time. I really don’t think many of the important things in life take that long to understand. You really don’t need decades to experience the world but for someone to highlight several main points a lot sooner. I listen to an app that collects wisdom teachings from several people all in one spot. The founder’s reason for starting it was to provide a tool that wasn’t available when he was growing up so he had to go on long quests to find it. Too bad we couldn’t think about this topics earlier in life. Maybe I didn’t think of my teen years as being more important but it is clear now that is the case.
