Lessons Learnt In Life

As
Children,
Gullible
And so naive; 
Rarely questioning---
What they hear; they believe. 
Adults are somewhat the same.
Grown-up, sometimes only in name.
Both, rational and irrational.
Credibility sometimes a question.
Truth is not the same as ones perception.
Be more Socratic; less dogmatic. 
Things may not be what they appear.
Be more critically aware.
No one has all answers.
Accept some unknown.
You're not alone.
Life complex.
Demand 
Less.
