John-Roger, Peter McWilliams
Cognition

The life of being known? Of knowing what? You can bring an example.
There are many, which could learn from. The first five years we learn to coordinate movement, walk, talk, eat. Learning to communicate with family and playmates. We learn many interesting things about this planet, and many other things that separate her five years of the newborn.
From five to ten, we learn reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, history, music and sports. If in this case we did not watch TV, you would have learned more about people: friends, relatives, enemies, allies, opponents - those who support us, or, conversely, prevents us.
Cognition continues. Something of what we have learned before, is true (the earth is round, and if you want to have friends, be a friend, purity - is something almost impossible), but something is false (Santa Claus, for example).
Some things we have to re-learn or unlearn them, and in the process, we may learn how to behave with the failures and disappointments. Or maybe not.
Looking back on the life of most people, we see that they grow up to the age of 15 or 20 years. Then the growth slows down, stops, or in some cases, there comes a regression.
Most people claim to be "made" as soon as the end of their formal education.
Do not just think about what we do not have any more, so you can be to learn. Not at all. "Completion" does not mean the end. It just means a new beginning.
The more we learn, the more we can do.
The more we do, the more we learn. But amidst all this doing and cognition do not forget the most important lesson - joy.
