Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars want you to understand that wisdom is usually something you have to gain from experience. It is a long and painful process, accumulating knowledge. People are filled with doubt, even with things they see with their own eyes, and with what they experience with their own hearts.
The only time we attain wisdom is when we are finally ready to accept what our senses are telling us. Once we stop living the lie we have sold ourselves on, and reluctantly step back and see the whole picture.
Unfortunately, that's not how our brains are wired. We have to ability to shape our own reality, and that is a very dangerous and addictive tool. Wisdom comes at a price, and is often delivered with a sledgehammer. It is not some gentle and nicely wrapped gift, it is violent and crippling realization most of the time. It is reality smashing through all your defenses and leaving you nothing but the dark and bitter truth you've been running from for so long.
And that is how most people learn what is best for them. You can try to tell them, you can try to give them the benefit of your past experiences, but people need to learn on their own. They cannot trust something as important as what they see as their happiness and security on the words of someone else, no matter how close. We must all go get burned multiple times before we see the light.
Which is why the urge to say “I told you so” is so strong. The stars recommend that you refrain from doing that, though. It just makes people want to ignore good advice all the more. It is petty, and self serving, and it didn't feel good when others said it to you when you didn't listen on your way to attaining your own painful truth.
