Experience:
a. the conscious events that make up an individual life
b. something personally encountered, undergone, or lived through
Do experiences define who we are? Do they shape us?
I'd like to think that it is much more complex than that. It depends on the experiencer. It depends on her perception of the event and it depends on her evaluation and assimilation of the event into her consciousness (perhaps subconscious too).
We are not passive experiencers. We are living experiments. We actively participate. We observe. We evaluate. We learn. And we apply what we've learned to future experiences. This is how we obtain intellectual and emotional growth.
