Learning a lesson
“Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood” — Ralph Waldo Emerson.
*********
My question:
Is it the same, learning from other people’s experiences and not having to LIVE the lesson to understand a lesson in life?

Ab and Geoffrey agree with Ralph above. I would say that sometimes we learn from other people’s experiences, for example, avoiding car accidents, drowning, drugs, etc.

No doubt.. but I am sure that there are things we learn without having to go through them.
