Living and learning: lessons and life

As I feel myself advancing in years, I become more aware of the experiences and lessons they bring across time. For example, multitude of faces/persons have come into and have been gone from my life.Some I genuinely liked, others i really loathed. But the amazing thing: there is always a memory retained. Both the good and the bad ones. I just realized that it didnt matter whether the person was good to me or not. Bottomline is that whether we like it or not, the persons that we meet in this lifetime leaves a footprint in our being.
