The expected way isn't the way, if you act the expected way then where is the lesson in that? All you have leaned is how to be like someone else. If you give aggression to the situation then you have experienced what it means to be the aggressor, same with compassion or if you run from it. True understanding doesn't come from lessons, it comes from experience.

Imagine I'm an alien that has never been to earth before. Now help me understand what an orange is. How would you begin? How difficult do you think that is? Now supposing you gave me an orange into my three-digit hand and said "That's an orange". Don't you think that by experiencing the shape, colour and taste it would give me a better understanding?
