For those who answer with what comes from within themselves?

Question

How old are you? Where do you think your insights come from? Do they apply to your life? If not, is it because the meanings you get come from nowhere you no of, or because you simply haven't experienced a situation that applies with it?number it 1-3 like me, and for number 4, add something interesting about yourself that you find to be important.

1. 13
2. I really don't know. All I know is that they dont' come from others.
3. No, and both.
4. My life is a passion (not always good passion) filled ocean, yet I've only come to know full experience of a drop in it.

Answer 1

1. 53
2. i think my insights come from a variety of places, some are things that are deep within me, some from experiencing life and observing others
3.yes, i try to apply my insights and my beliefs to my daily life, to "walk the walk of the talk you talk" so to speak,
4. what i think i have learned that is most important, and that i try to remind myself of, and apply daily, are a few quotes, which have great meaning and truth to me, one is "you dont find yourself, you create yourself" and another along those lines is "you are now today becoming what you will be tomorrow", and finally "you dont build yourself up by putting others down", while i have always felt these things, it was other peoples words, in the form of these quotes, that helped define and summarize it for me, so while your insights will come from yourself, others can be helpful in the applying of them, defining them, etc

Answer 2

1. 13
2. Just watching others lives unfold and learning from their mistakes rather than making my own.
3. Some do, because I have seen a lot of different people and can easily apply their experiences to different situations. But when people talk about personal problems that are extremely devastating, I can't think of anything to say. I feel like I don't have the right to say anything since I've never gone through such trauma.
4. I always keep an open mind and question everything. If you commit yourself to something without question, you become blind to everything else.
