This is simply a theory I have, but since I came up with it by observing the effects of certain members and situations that have occurred inside the high class society, I have chosen to post it on this blog.
We all go through tough times. What we have to learn is how to gain knowledge from those times. I believe that we learn and mature by pain faster than from anything else.
I'll give you a little child standing next to a stove as example. If you tell him not to touch it because it will hurt if he does so, there is a chance he will still do it out of curiosity. If you will keep him away from the stove he won't hurt itself either, but he won't be all that careful around the stove on a later stage and the chances of burning himself then will be pretty big. The only way to educate the little kid on how hot the stove is or how much it hurts is by letting it burn itself. Now hold your horses, I'm not saying that you should grab your child's hand and place it on the stove. I'm just saying that pain is the fastest way to learn. That is why people that went through a lot are often more mature then people that have been spoiled their entier comfortable life.
When you have hit rock bottom, like many inside the high class society, you will spend a lot of time asking yourself questions that you do not know the answer off. You will observe the situation and desperately try to get back to the place you once were before. It's merely our human instinct, our will to survive. And when you have finally climbed out of rock bottom, you will return wiser (of course there are always some ignorant idiots that don't, but let's not pay any attention to those suckers).
Pain and suffering makes you stronger. We learn from our mistakes. We evaluate on them. So what I'm trying to say is; don't be afraid to get hurt. Take your chances every once in a while. Do not fear to make the wrong decisions in life, 'cause what kind of life is a life of certainty anyway. Just make sure that you will learn from the mistakes you'll make and you'll be just fine.
(and yes after making the mistake of actually publishing this post I will try to become a better blogger.)
