Experience is sometimes blamed for complacency.
Most times that's not the case.
Complacency happens because of fear.
It holds one back from making
A move unto what's noted as unfamiliar
But which could unarguably lead to change.
At this complacent phase, trust is at stake.
No trusts or little of it holds us
Hostage to a place of being blinded
Of what's real and what's happening in the moment.
It causes a question mark to appear
In ones mind and thereby opening a door of doubt.
Subtlety it creeps upon it's prey as do darkness.
With deep reflection I say
This ought not be the case.
Experience is simply a lesson learnt.
It enhances ones wisdom which in time
Could teach and influence nations.
With experience comes liberation.
Liberation could lead to new horizons.
Success is more likely than failure.
I've come to realize that without experience
Life is not life.
Hi Jeanette, Very thoughtful and poignant write. Profound thoughts. Experience is the best teacher of Life's Lessons. So, we are able to move ahead. Your lines, Experience is simply a lesson learnt. It enhances ones wisdom which in time Could teach.... and influence nations. Yes, it does! ! Or does it? If that was the case, Hitler would have remained an ordinary soldier.... The ever so stupid people would have easily estopped him from usurping power. The rulers of other countries like Britain and France could have woken up from the slumber. (You may read the history in the famous book, RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH by William L Shirer. Pl do read. And then, With experience comes liberation..... Sure it does; for knowledge is power.. Liberation could lead to new horizons. Success is more likely than failure. I've come to realize that without experience Life is not life. Quite true... Loved reading this poem, quite philosophical. but interesting read... A lovely 100++++
