Most people strongly believe that gaining more life experience is always a good thing. After all if a person has been through a lot or if he experienced what you haven't experienced before then he must know better right?
Before i answer this question let me first ask you another question, who told you that the way this person stored this experience in his mind was correct? Let me ask the question in another way, what if that person stored this experience in a biased way?
Here are some examples of situations where experiences got stored in the minds of people in a messed up way:
As you just saw the experiences we go through don't always teach us correct lessons because the way we interpret these experiences influences our core beliefs about life.(see also Why criticism hurts)
In other words, it won't matter if a man was more experienced than a kid unless you make sure that he has interpreted the situations he has been through correctly.
A 10 year experience could be worth nothing if this experience was coded in the mind in a biased way. (see also Emotions and perception)
How many people out there have psychological disorders because of the mistakes they made while interpreting the different life situations they have been through?
How many people out there suffer because their experience database is full of incorrect facts?
Experience can only be a good thing when people manage to make unbiased judgements and thus code it correctly in their brains. (see How perception affects behavior)
Do you think that you are worthless?
Do you lack self confidence?
Do you believe that you can't succeed?
Are you living an unhappy life because you acquired experience the wrong way?
If any of your answers was yes then know that the way you collected experience is the root cause of your problems.
The good news is that its not late to rebuild your experience database. By filtering wrong information and incorrect facts you will be able to make the best use of the experience you collected.
Here is how you can do it:
Life experience without guiding knowledge will only lead to a corrupted experience database. The moral of the post is: Read as much as you can.
