"The beautiful thing about learning, is nobody can take it away from you." B.B.King

Another fantastic quote. WE CAN ALWAYS LEARN!!! Cool :)

This faculty seems almost as universal for life as death. Physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually there's always learning.

Right from the beginning DNA has, by trial and error, been learning what combinations work the best. Looking around at Nature we can see it has learnt vast complex multitudes of genetic variation!

Or emotionally. We learn what upsets us, what makes us happy, we can find us what works best and worst for our emotions. Although more emotionally aware creatures can create emotional traps for those less aware. For instance I go into a field of sheep and walk with a bucket of feed and usually this will get them interested, or if I yell and run at them they'll run away. I can do this with my dog, in subtle ways I can influence what she does but making her interested, altering my voice or my body language. On the other hand my dog's learnt how I tick and can pull 'puppy dog eyes' or be annoying to evoke or provoke a reaction lol.

Intellectually there' lots of facts and figures we can learn about, lots of things to measure and define, almost without end! And what with the human capacity for the imagination we can create things for other people to learn about; tools, stories, art, culture, the list goes on.

Also spiritually. Well this is a rather obscure subject. Noone really knows what it is or at least don't know how to adequately explain it. Each culture, subcultrue, subsubculture, and even subsubsub etc has a complex (or simple) system of symbolism, meditiation, ritual and belief, it's hard to pin point. BUT there is, once again, the possibility to learn! We can sift through the ideas and experiences of many people and compare it with our own with some idea, intuition or otherwise of what spirituality is.

And then who knows what other levels and arenas of learning there are?! It could go on for eternity! :O Wow, now there's a thought!

So, learn, learn and learn! Whether by education or experience, learn!
