But if somebody dies, if something happens to you, there is a normal process of depression, it is part of being human, and some people view it as a learning experience etc.

Certainly, I think being depressed is absolutely part of the human condition, it has to be, if there's joy there's its opposite, and it's something you ride if you possibly can.

I view life as a learning experience. It is not so much all about music; it is about what happens when you are doing the music.

Depression, suffering and anger are all part of being human.

It is a learning experience for both the parent and the child. Lots of different people come to classes, not just environmentalists.

It was a mutually beneficial learning experience. Although I was taking a lot out of the experience, the people I interacted with got a different perspective of what Americans were like. Having a white person stay with them was atypical for that culture. I was very warmly welcomed.
