Paths are never concrete

We inadvertently forget that which we have already learned and file it away somewhere.

Many are the times I have done something without thinking about it and not remembered why I did it in a certain way.

I have the pleasure of watching many different shows wherein the lead character remembers a lesson at the appropriate time to help them in a jam. Then, they rarely use that to their advantage later on, and had they not remembered it, they wouldn't have made it out of that situation.

That's why I disburse random lessons that many may not even understand why we are doing things that way. I just have them do things that way then. Hopefully, one day they will understand more why we went over the things we did.

However, I wonder how many times I haven't recalled an appropriate bit of knowledge to help me out of a situation to achieve a better outcome.

It makes me wonder many times how often I do bring myself back to the start of a path to walk down it again. I'd like to think that every time I walk a student down a path I take that path with them. Although, I am unsure today if I truly walk with them. I know we walk together, but I learn more than I did the time I walked the path before, and it's much more solidified than the first time I walked down it.
