Recently I came across something called Rules for Being Human. I think the list describes well the state we’re in as people: Rule #1: You will learn lessons. Rule #2: There are no mistakes—only lessons. Rule #3: A lesson is repeated until it is learned. Rule #4: If you don’t learn the easy lessons, they get harder. (Pain is one way the universe gets your attention.) Rule #5: You’ll know you’ve learned a lesson when your actions change.
