We learn from our mistakes.
Failed romances, family problems, lost friendships, a death, these things make us learn.

We learn what we should take and what we shouldn't.
We learn how to control our temper.
We learn that promises can be broken even when they're promised by someone who you thought was trustworthy.
We learn that some friends will deceive us.
We learn that some people don't deserve forgivness.
We learn how not to trust so easily.
We learn how to let go and we learn how to treasure what we have.

The learning experience is not always easy.
We can complain, we can moan, but some things just can't be changed.

Sometimes we question God.
We question why he takes away the people that you love.
We question why some things have to go one way and not the other.

The tough experiences make some of us stronger.
The rest are left waiting, wondering, crying.
They ask questions but they fail to get the answer as they are too busy wallowing in self-pity.
Some people never learn.
