A thought provoking post on Bluesky:
One sign of maturity is in how we interpret the experience of “I didn’t know that.”
Other people, art, the universe are constantly telling us things, in a myriad of different ways.
There’s deep truth in the aphorism “the universe will keep repeating the lesson until it is finally learned.”
Things are considered secret knowledge mostly because we don’t pay attention.
Instead of “no one told me that,” a mature mind thinks “I’m finally listening.”
