Of course...If we never touch a hot stove, how will we ever know it will hurt when we do it... It works for
everything just about in our sensory system. we learn how to judge people, we learn the forshadowing that
is in given situations, and then act the other way when confronted with something that turned out badly last time,
under the same circumstance..
I can say that is how I learned to play pool, and cards, and any other endeavor I had to learn the right and the
wrong of.
And yes some are destined to do that. But you are too smart for that. They are the kind that just flow along
and allow their life to just drift without direction or thought....They definately do repeat past behaviors, until something
makes them stop and realize what they are doing to themself. Too bad some never do learn....
