Life could be considered as the best personal website that keeps publishing a wide range of information pertaining to our existence. The source is none, but our own experience in every domain of life. Everything, that we go through, is digitized - according our own perception, though - and stored in amygdala.
But do we take advantage of such a huge and extremely beneficial knowledge source? Not really!
Whenever we visit a website, we look at the front page to identify the most interesting article/s pertaining to our frame of mind at that time. Then we read it, and move out of the website to another. We hardly explore through the achieves to identify a few more useful and thought-provoking piece of information.
The same happens in our real-life during occasional introspection, when we look at our 'life website.' We read and remember what appear most interesting and fulfilling -- ignoring a few painful but excellent source of learning.
You know why?
Because, we don't enjoy reading them; because, they remind us of those painful memories, without realizing that recollection of those failures, analyzing them in the current context and taking appropriate corrective action lay the foundation of a better present and future.
However, now that I've realized the mistake, I'm going to make it a point to read and analyze every piece of information; good bad, both -- that my experiences upload to my life's website.
Yes, I have decided to reopen those dark chapters of my life, not for lamenting over them but for learning a few lessons through impartial analysis -- identifying the root cause of those failures.
The road to a sunny morning has to go through a pitch dark predawn night. Is there a different route?
