So I went ahead and told her. R.L. Burnside
I cannot turn my face away from the concept that wisdom is experience plus knowledge. I was always pretty good with the knowledge part of things while woefully lacking in the experience part of things. Or perhaps I should say grasping and digesting the experience part of things. I would eagerly learn about something and then ignore the lesson until I had punished or rewarded myself with the consequences. Even that was not enough some of the time as evidenced by the repeated beatings I administered to myself.
