I believe that unlearning is more important.
We are taught that a penny saved is a penny earned.
We are taught to beware of strangers.
We are taught not to make mistakes
and so many things that we grow up to find ourselves bereft of powerful wings to fly in the world of reality.
A penny well spent is more precious than a penny saved.

When am I going to be carefree and breathe the fresh air,
uncontaminated by past notions?

There is no rule written that you have to be right all the time. If I am right it is because of the many wrongs that I have experienced.
Do you agree with this flow of thought?
Do you ever feel stifled by thinking and being in one-track mind?
Beliefs held strongly.
"I will never die for the sake of my beliefs," said the thinker Bertrand Russell, "because I may be wrong."
Think differently. Think out of the box.
Think whether the baggage I am carrying can be placed on wheels instead of keeping on head, so that I can tow it easily.
