Hello dear readers, I'm here once again to share my reflections on life. Sometimes, there are questions that suddenly pop into my mind during moments of contemplation, and I thought of sharing my opinions on these issues with you.

If you were to ask people around the world, it is highly probable that almost everyone has a story about life lessons to share... learning from events that happened to them in the past, events they remember. But, believe it or not, there are people who don't learn.

However, since the title is about life lessons we forget to remember, I'll discuss those unfortunate ones that are bad, yet we never learned from them.
What's amusing is that if you ask them on the day when the life lesson presents itself, they'll say they'll remember it so they won't commit the same mistakes again. However, when the same situation occurs, they will repeat the same mistake they made before.

It's not because they don't want to change, it's just genuinely hard to change, especially when our bodies and minds are accustomed to certain ways.
But instead of getting annoyed with them and thinking they're stubborn, let's also consider that they are genuinely struggling to change. And because we don't indulge them, let's not get tired of reminding them and recalling the events that should have been life lessons for them.
As good friends, I think it's our responsibility to always remind our friends and not just say what they want to hear when they have problems.
I have a friend who is good at side hustles, very diligent. If we talk about diligence in work, I can't match him. But now, he's drowning in debt, not because of his circumstances but because he doesn't learn from life.
He loves to gamble, dear readers. Every time he earns, he takes his hard-earned money to the casino. Eventually, even the capital for his projects is lost in gambling, leading him to borrow a new capital for his side projects.

For years, this has been his life, waiting for the jackpot that might make him win back everything. When I asked him why he hasn't learned, he said he remembers his failures, but the problem is he's addicted to gambling.
I also know someone, a man, who is consistently being left by women for another man. The issue always revolves around money. This man works, dear readers. He's not lazy, and he can support a family.
One time he asked me what the problem was. I told him the problem is his choices in women. He should learn to choose someone who is not materialistic. I noticed that the women he usually chooses are materialistic, those who won't be happy with a simple life and want a grand one.
I'm not saying these women are bad because they want wealth, I'm not here to judge them. What I'm telling my friend is that these women are not compatible with him, and next time, if he wants someone to stay and not leave because he can't provide a luxurious life, he should choose a simple woman.
I have many more stories about people who haven't learned in life. I can't blame them because, dear readers, I also took a long time to learn in my own life.
It was really a struggle before I remembered the essential life lessons in life. I often fell into traps repeatedly until eventually, through determination, discipline, and prayers, I overcame. I now remember the negative events in my life as valuable life lessons.

Let's not get tired of reminding them. As my mother says, reminders are medicine for forgetful people. Let's also pray for them that eventually, they will remember the lessons in their lives.
The tests in life will continue to come our way until we learn from them. It is essential for us to acquire values from each lesson that life teaches, because if not, it's like going around in circles, passing through the same points repeatedly until you remember the correct answers to life's exams.
Life has many lessons to teach. If you don't remember them, you're like a student who constantly fails every time they take the same exam. If the first time you faced a similar scenario, you failed, and most likely, if the same situation arises again and you do the same thing, you'll fail again.
Do you also have life reflections that you would like to share? Write them in the Reflections Community, and perhaps there is someone out there whose life may be changed by reading them
Thank you to those who took the time to read my opinion about life lessons. What do you, dear readers, have to say or share regarding this topic?
