Live and Learn

Look at that, I've already lost track of when the new boards went up. It doesn't help when I just woke up from watching Heroes for a few hours on a lazy night at college.

Something I've been trying to understand is the phrase, "Live and Learn." What does that actually mean? When I think about it, it's a saying that means we live and pretty much we make mistakes. From these mistakes, we need to learn. Another saying is "History repeats itself." We don't want to commit the same mistakes we have made already, or else what is the point of living? At least it'd be a very dull life...

But does this saying not have something tagged along with it? I've recently been using it as an excuse to my mistakes in life. I don't think I am justified in doing this. I yell at a friend for not knowing how to do something, "live and learn." Wow, I feel like I just tossed them aside like yesterdays old eggs. This is not something I should be striving for, rather, to avoid. Don't be using this phrase as a crutch, but a guideline. Sometimes the lesson could be a pricey one, so learn as much as you can from the lessons learned in life.
