Title: The Wisdom in Experience

“We should be careful to get out of an Experience only the Wisdom that is in it …

And stop there;

Lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove lid.

She will never sit down on a hot stove lid again … and that is well;

but she will also never sit down on a cold one, anymore”.
