[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3183918, member: 10465"] A lesson hard-learned is a lesson well-earned. Good judgment often comes from having previously exercised poor judgment. Pain and grief are often Nature’s way of letting you know that perhaps you should not continue to do what you have done. You can tell a kid “Now dammit, don’t you stick that screwdriver in that electrical outlet” all you want. You can shout it repeatedly, loudly, and often. You can tell him “Now dammit, that will shock you”. Yet only when he at long last inserts the metal implement into the socket will the youngster well and truly learn what it means. The same methodology may be applied to fire and the concept of “burn” and to a frozen metal ice tray (for the oldies here) and what it feels like physically, emotionally, and to a point, intellectually, to have ones tongue frozen stuck to the metal tray.
