I am a student. I study to learn and therefore I must be a student of something. I enjoy learning, to be more precise, I enjoy learning what I want to learn. (we all have our limitations) I am a student of language, of history, of mathematics, of theater. Yes, but I learn so much more from life. I am the still observer. I am a student of life. I cannot only watch life, I can watch others live and others lives but I still must live and have a life. Many of the lessons we learn in life come the hard way through mistakes and errors. It has been argued that these are the best, the most profitable, methods of learning, not so for me. I am an observer. I watch thereby I learn. I seek truth and I search in life for truth. Truth comes in many shapes and sizes. Do not be fooled, truth is different from fact. Facts tell us something but truth teaches us. Fact may tell me that the girl sitting next to me is exactly five feet, five and a half inches tall or it might say something more humiliating, like humans still don't know what atoms look like. Truth might teach me that music is the universal language, or that love is something both simple and infinitely complex. I am a learner of facts. I am a student of truth.
Of whom are you a student?
