BLOG 6A — FAILURE

AUSTRALIAN MYTHOLOGY

Upon creating a workshop, I decided to deepen my understanding that if you don’t fall, you won’t learn. This is a metaphor for the process of a child’s walking, which can be applied to all elements of daily life. I leave a text made by AI that defines complete understanding. This beginning brings an understanding of others’ opinions about us, and the authority of these people transfers this opinion to us. It is the reason for functioning throughout life; we build anything to deny this assertion, success in any form. At this moment, I bring the metaphor of a clock face and a 360-degree perspective through the viewpoint of another account. We build from the perspective of our beliefs and understanding of this reality. We all look at the same event and interpret it from the perspective of our beliefs, and later we fight for these beliefs, including killing.

Australian Mythology does not treat failure as proof of stupidity.

A child must fall many times before it can understand how to walk.

The fall is not the opposite of progress.

The fall is part of progress.

We often say:

“If you do not make a mistake, you will not learn.”

Science develops through the same process.

An attempt is made.

The result is observed.

The failure provides information.

The next attempt is changed.

I also had to learn how to walk while building this message.

I made many attempts and experienced many falls.

Each fall showed me something that was still missing.

The message has now begun to crystallise.

A child’s fall can be seen as a necessary part of learning.

The same fall can also be judged by a parent:

“You still do not know this?”

“What is wrong with you?”

The child does not only remember the fall.

The child may also remember the judgement.

With time, the parent’s judgement can become the child’s internal judge.

The child grows up.

The internal judge remains.

Adult life may then be used to prove that the judgement was wrong.

Money can become proof.

Status can become proof.

Knowledge can become proof.

Success can become proof.

“Look at me.”

“I am not the person you thought I was.”

A persona is then created to produce the image that the person wants others to see.

The fall was part of learning.

The judgement of the fall created something else.
