If we treasure our own experience and regard it as real, we must also treasure other people's experience.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If we treasure our own experience and regard it as real, we must also treasure other people's experience. Reality is no less precious if it presents itself to someone else. All are discoverers, and if we disenfranchise any, all suffer.
You have to get beyond your own precious inner experiences.
Most of the images of reality on which we base our actions are really based on vicarious experience.
Our experience is composed rather of illusions lost than of wisdom acquired.
The sole substitute for an experience which we have not ourselves lived through is art and literature.
I've always been interested in this notion of what is authentic and how we define that and why our culture imposes certain emotions and emotional constraints onto experiences.
The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.
Everything is an experience. You learn something different from everything you do.
Exploration by real people inspires us.
We don't believe other people's experiences can tell us all that much about our own. I think this is an illusion of uniqueness.
