"Humans are the only animals that repeatedly do things they know will hurt them."
We often refer to other animals as 'stupid'. Yet even 'stupid' animals quickly learn how to avoid doing things that hurt them or bring them pain. However, the same thing can't be said for supposed 'smart' people. And The Chemical Buddha considered himself smart and definitely smarter than most, if not all, animals. But, despite his genius, he was involved in multiple painful relationships (OK, all of his relationships were painful) and had hangovers on top of hangovers. (In both cases he learned nothing helps you forget a relationship like another relationship. And nothing cures a hangover like another drink or a joint.) Of course, as the pain mounted, the relationships got shorter and shorter and he needed to drink more and more. But hey, that was something no 'stupid' animal ever learned.
What painful lessons do you keep learning over and over?
What's it going to take for you to get the lesson and move on?
