Learning is a self humiliating experience. Our ego resists it. Our identity resists it. Our false notion of “I am good” resists it. Our insecurities resists it. Our fears resists it. Learning is an empowering experience. Our life wants it. Our existence wants it. Our innate curiosity wants it. Our survival needs it. There’s always a war happening between the factors resisting self humiliation and factors supporting empowerment. One’s willingness to enjoy the humiliation transcends them to a continuous learner. Most people don’t enjoy it. Most people persist with it to reach a certain comfort level post which they give up. Most people think they are on path of continuous learning and the reality is if they are experiencing self humiliation. If not - they are accumulating knowledge. Accumulating knowledge is dangerous without knowing how to apply and equally having an experimental ground. Those who accumulate a lot become a baggage. Those baggages lead to the person becoming a liability. Some day people around them try to clear the liability and it hurts their ego, insecurities, fears and the false notion of “I am good” built around them. Eventually- if you don’t self inflict wounds to ego, fears, false notions, and insecurities - the nature will force it. This life is a wonderful opportunity to take control and learn and learn to enjoy being self humiliated. Through that find empowerment.
