Today’s Horoscope
People never learn. Except that’s not true. People learn everyday, it’s just that so many of them choose to ignore whatever it is they figured out. There is something to be said for tenacity, but there comes a point where you are just banging your head on a wall.
No matter how many times we get burned or fail or lose, we will often stubbornly engage in the same behavior again and again. That is your reptile brain, fashioned by evolution to keep trying the same thing. Evolution expects you to die out if your way doesn’t work, but often that is not the case, regardless of what you see in some disturbing internet videos. We don’t want to accept the truth, so we keep on lying to ourselves so we don’t have to admit what we already know.
So we continue to try the same solutions, we keep loving the same people who have hurt us, we still look to leaders who have let us down. We sabotage and spite ourselves with some bitter “all or nothing” attitude when we should be looking for compromise and common ground. We look for compassion and kindness in those who show us everyday that have none to give.
The stars think the most important lesson to master is how to put what you’ve learned into practice, otherwise what is the point in learning at all?
