We never learn, I believe that. In the sense that we are never finished learning, we can never lean back and think ok, that's it, I'm the person I was supposed to be or not, but I'm done. We're never done. It tires me just to think of it.
And I don't believe in our lives being linear either. Not even time is linear, not the way we preceive it, or else there would be no memories, no sense of future.
But I don't have the slightest idea what that means, if it means we have to live our lives in any specific way. Some days I want nothing more than certainty, and on other days I think, wouldn't that (certainty) be terribly boring? To know for sure that what you're doing is right?
