Unlearning


Meanings” grow from an existential soil (daily living, cultural, and social), and get nurtured by it. Just like plants and humans grow and get nurtured from the surrounding earth soil. It is hard for me to think of growth with no soil nurturing it. Growth never starts with concepts. They might enhance it at a later stage.

It is very hard for me today to think of a situation where I would learn something without unlearning being part of it, or of a situation where I am unlearning something without learning being part of it.
