How I Understand the World


There is much that could be learned. The first five years we learn to coordinate movements, walk, talk, eat. We learn to interact with family and friends in games. We learn a lot of interesting things about this planet and many other things that separate the five-year-old child from the newborn.

From five to ten we learn to read, write, arithmetic, geography, history, music and go in for sports. If we did not watch TV at the same time, we would learn more about people: friends, relatives, enemies, allies, rivals – those who support us or, on the contrary, hamper us. Cognition continues. Something that we have learned before turns out to be true (the earth is round, if you want to have friends, be a friend, purity is something almost impossible), and something turns out to be false (Santa Claus, for example).

Some things we have to learn anew or wean from them, and during this process we may learn how to behave in the event of failures and disappointments. Or maybe not. Looking back at the lives of most people, we see that they grow up to the age of 15 or 20 years. Then growth slows down, stops, or, in some cases, regress.

Most people declare themselves “made” as soon as their formal education is completed. Do not think only that there was nothing else around us that could be learned. By no means. “Completion” does not mean an end. It means only a new beginning.

The more we learn, the more we can do. The more we do, the more we learn.
