Experience

When is experience too much for one's own good?

Won't too widely varying experiences cause one to fall into the paradox of choice?

Won't too narrow an experience create a provincial mind?

So what is the happy medium?

Perhaps it is the first know a base of morals, then leave opinions to the wind.

Understanding increases with experience (more or less),

But what is understanding?

We nod and say we understand,
But then act on our own opinion anyways.

Is understanding proven with action?

Or is it possible to understand

Even if the consequence of action isn't internalized?

Is "understanding" a concept or a behavior?

You can "understand" advise but not take it...

And a child follows instructions as they understand them,
So that makes it an observable behavior?

Is it possible to conclude it can be both:
Intangible concept and perceivable behavior
