Can experience be inauthentic?

DrWatson · 70-79, M

The ancient Roman writer Seneca called experience "the teacher of fools." I think experience is valuable, but only if we reflect on it and try to sift out what lessons are worth learning.

@Alex1610: Experience is what you see and do and hear. Whether or not you internlize it

So you mean experience isn't experience if you're not actually experiencing?

SW-User
