Life is the greatest teacher, and life is nature. Nature simply maintains balance, it doesn't take sides. Call it karma, luck, randomness...it's inexplicable what life does.
So why do we try to explain it? Why have we created all this work for ourselves, all these things, these "achievements" to fulfill?
Once upon a time, we were able to see nature and what she had to teach us. But we got so caught up in all this made-up stuff, we made life harder.
I think we continue to come to this world until we learn how to unravel ourselves.

the life is the rote and the people who stand next to use to learn from is the out side of the rote . life teaches us when we mistake. from my eye I see if you did not have any mistake in life you wont learn , you wont have experiences. and life is so tough and not fair . which that make you to deal with it and make it your school and the cluncool is the media and the society that can give the lesson on and to get effected from .

Last I checked, letting nature run its course and not needing any advances in life resulted in us being vulnerable to predators. Humans strive to get more out of life because they're greedy. They can't accept letting luck, karma, fate, or whatever control them. They want to live well, and aim for the top. All of the achievements we made make us feel better about ourselves, after puncooling the need to survive of course. Therefore, the more, the better.

I think humans in general are inquisitive. We tend to be curious about the world and are eager for knowledge; it's something that is as natural as life itself. Also, it is human nature to have the desire to show off; to show what we've achieved to boost our self-esteem. For example, some people may think that altering nature helps them prove their worth. We let ourselves to be insensitive and selfish in so many ways that we cannot leave life alone.

Jean Paul Satrte one proclaimed “life is c between b and d.” it means that “life is choice between birth and death. He tried to say that people always not only make wrong choices but also good choices, which make life even harder. At the same time, we never give up because achievements from hard times let us to experience satisfaction. For this reason, we always try hard.

I believe humans are inquisitive and ambitious. I can relate this to Christianity. People tend to Adam and Eve were curious about the tree of knowledge and eventually ate the tree of knowledge to become like a god. It is true that we continue to come to this world until we learn how to unravel ourselves. We continue to meet our achievements to fullfil ourselves.

I totally agree with you Grace.I have always wondered why we chose to make our own lives more miserable to piling up unnecessary responsibilities and duties to fulfill. Does it even matter when we are dead and gone? If we think about it, all of this learning and getting a job and earning money is to eat food and survive. Which is funny because food was free a long time ago. I sometimes wish that all our wants would disappear and we would be left with only the things that we need. Maybe then people will start to appreciate why we are truly given a life to live.

So true. I don't wanna get too technical on this so I'll use myself as example. Every year I kinda reflect on my previous years and how I changed over time, who were around me and who is there for me now. The change I notice buy that is drastic. And also the people who were really there for me, makes to value them even more and be thankful. I'll keep doing it until I die because this is the only way that I found which really can keep me going and also improving myself.

I agree with you Grace. I think life and experience are the best teacher in our life. From experiences, we got to learn about life and relationship with other or how the society goes around. We all make goal to our life. Due to goal and achievement, we have hopes and hard working. When we don't have any achievement and goal, there is no hope to this world and hard working to make life better. To have better quality of life or same quality of life, we keep working to maintain everything that we have. I agree that we make hard work for ourselves, but there is desire that we want to achieve the goal in life. That desire makes hard work toward us, but we know it's hard and tired. Still we think there is hope of better thing, when we achieve this goal.

I think it is a choice people make, making life hard by trying to figure out. Why do we choose to live like this? I think it is the result of the society. I personally choose to live harder than I can to live up to expectations from my parents and to accomplish so I don't become an "outsider" or even a "loser" of life. We can follow our nature and live this way. And some people chose to because we can, if we want to. Some people don't because sometimes they don't know they have the other option and sometimes they just enjoy living the hard life.

What do you mean by we are making our lives harder than it needs to be? We are humans who has infinite amount of ambition/greed and I think that those human nature led us to the day we live in now. I understand why you said that we made our life harder because now days if you don't study, you're basically screwed. However, I think this is a gift to us. If you work hard, you are going to get rewards and there is no doubt about that(mr berry's quote). We try to achieve these achievement because once people succeed to do something, they feel good. There is no other reason other that. We try and work hard to feel good at the end.

I totally agree with Grace, by making these "works" to achieve and things to fulfill and for what? I think that people evolve, while destroying the nature around us. This is why we can't get closer to nature even when we want to. Sometimes, when I walk down in Gangnam to my bus station, or in the bus that I take home from Gangnam, all these people that sit doesn't even have the power or joy left in their faces, they look like zombies looking at the same thing over and over again on their phones. We are all stressed with college, family problems, social problems, financial problems, and problems that people shouldn't have at all. We have to think too much in order to achieve a certain thing. I personally think all of this is the result of stereotypes and judgements that were created by us unintentionally. How do we get rid of this? I don't think we can, I only hope that it doesn't get worse, because everyday, it seems to get worse; new goals, new stereotypes, new types of judging, and new standards that are not meaningful to life.

I also agree with you grace. I think life is a greatest teacher, too. It always teachs us about how human relationship works, how the real life works and even how can we develop ourselves. Basically, everything happening in life is a lesson. We always learn something and we sometimes satisfy and we sometimes regret. Thus, I believe that LIFE is the greatest teacher  |

I agree with you. I think that there is no better teacher than life and experience. Also, I agree that we make life harder for ourselves but in this way, I also think that we learn even more. We create more experiences for ourselves, and though it's harder and more work, maybe for no reason really, but it does teach us more. Especially if it's related to problems that aren't found in nature.

Instead of saying life is the greatest teacher, I prefer saying experience is the greatest teacher. John Locke said that human mind is a blank slate, and experiences write on it. We having experiences in our lives make us learn about the world, and help to work for our betterment. Experiences make us learn everything that we know in this world, how do we know that sulfur is poisonous? Experience made us know that if we eat them, we die, so experience is greatest teacher that we get in our life.
