In this kind of matter experience would not matter in a relationship. People rather tell their experience of breakups/divorce rather than the moment they savor together. Yes, in relationship we can make it work or nurture, practically it was equal to handling such a relationship. . It is not the experience that counts, it is the knowledge we gain from it.
It's more than just knowledge that you're getting from any relationship you'd been into before. Relationship is so complex that even knowledge itself does not guarantee any success in the future. For example, what are you going to do with the 'knowledge'? Do we just assume that the opposite of a mistake that we done in the past will guarantee a success in the future? What happened if it doesn't turn out the way it suppose to be?
What i'm proposing through my post is that experience does and could help you to look relationship a different way hence the definition of success of each relationship. It opens up our mind regards to possibilities. If the knowledge is the integral idea or belief, one could actually just read a relationship book and hence practice out from it, true?
But the question still remains whether does it warrant success or failure? This is where experience count and it is certainly more than just knowledge that you're referring to. The gist of experience does not just break into knowledge form which you assume is the tinniest form out if it, if that is what you're trying to say.
Your action, questioning, execution, maturity and willingness to response will determine the outcome of your knowledge you gain from any experience. This is what i know till now where my age leads me. I knew deep down there is more than just knowledge in an experience.

You work to handle one relationship, you nurture to handle such relationship
Both person work it out to navigate the relationship to happiness (if happiness is the core to the success of a long lasting relationship and both agree on it) while you nurture the relationship in order to maintain and grow the happiness resulted from the work that you and partner mutually agree upon. Though easier said than done, sometimes love forces either one to carry the burden of carrying the relationship when the other is not or unable to carry the relationship forward. The word 'handle' is more appropriate to use when encountering problems in a relationship.

You have bloody sex with a goddamn woman and you still don't know the truth of it even after a bloody decade. What's the point?
Which it is what im trying to imply earlier.
QUOTE
Yes, we do make mistakes and the mistakes we made, we pretend to not knowing it and pretend not to know it. Still, foolish enough to make such mistake again and again. Truth is not something we can handle, lies are the wall that kept things intact with each other but never for long. We can't tell the truth because we never approve of the truth that is right in front of our very own eyes. You will know when the truth is told to you, not by time or signs. Even the brightest mind can be called the sickest thought, even the biggest foundation can be called the a weak link. Experience is just a shadow made from wisdom of such man.
Or better said, experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
QUOTE
Experience is not based on something you seen or done, it is something you learn from after time to time. In this case, the word never actually belongs to the category of uncertainty and the statement of 'nothing is perfect', its not a myth; but a reality create by mankind themselves.
Not that i disagree upon this notion or the subject on how you discuss the implication of the word 'never'. But if you knew reality consists of uncertainty and 'nothing-is-perfect' and etc, you should have just never put 'never'. It's simple as pie. It changes the whole meaning of the sentences and it points the shallowness and naivety of your sentences for others to read even though that isn't the actual meaning you're trying to propose in this thread. It changes the whole concept.
Your thread here is to open our mind and not to impress yourself on how 'never' should be implied in your statement or the ideology behind it.
QUOTE
Rhetorically, every step we made in a relationship is a mistake and that mistake will either turn into something good or something bad.
Which, either result will contribute to the experience that we need to either alleviate the problems in the relationship or to strengthen the relationship even better or to utilize in any future relationship or anything else which is able to benefit you be it present or in the future.
QUOTE
You can't possibly control things without knowing, experience comes from knowledge, not the other way around.
Really? I could be uncertain and have absolute no knowledge about something and yet i would still dare myself to do it and fail or get lost in the jungle searching for GPS. You don't buy that? I have absolute zero knowledge about KL environment or what will KL do to me but i still packed my bag and buy me a ticket plane to kl and find a job to start a living. I got the job that i want and i live in a very nice place till now. All comes from an absolute zero knowledge since i don't buy people's word easily about the KL and its surrounding and people.
Isn't it counted as experience after i perform something that i have no idea what it does to me? Some women find it attractive you know.

You don't have to know something to do something. I could as well do something first or dare to fail to know something as long as i have a strong belief that i will reach my goal. Get what im trying to say? Because if you don't, i believe we're going to discuss which one comes first which is either the chicken or the egg which i believe its unnecessary don't you think?
