What's Worth Knowing?

"I've been making a list of the things they don't teach at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing." -Neil Gaiman

This quote is very true. They don't teach us what we should know. So, what's worth knowing? I think it's worth knowing how to not hurt someone. Regularly, many people upset others. They could get very hurt depending on what happens. Sometimes, it may happen without even knowing. There are many examples of people getting hurt and the consequences may be very heart-breaking. It can be physically or emotionally. In fact, I believe more people get emotionally hurt! Yes, we are taught to not be mean to others and to not physically hit someone. But, that is not enough. Hurting others can be done in other ways too. You may hurt someone without knowing, which is true in many cases. Many take some things in a very offensive way and that's how many relationships end. Misunderstandings occur quite often. Additionally, people can be hurt in such a way that they want to commit suicide. They cannot take the emotional pain. At some points of time, being emotionally hurt can lead to something more dangerous than being physically hurt! Studies show that emotional pain is more hurtful than physical pain! Emotional pain is not learnt about  as much as physical pain. To be on the safe side and to avoid disruptions in relationships, it's important to think twice before you speak. Just one mistake can lead to someone's death! So, that is something, I believe, that's worth knowing.
