Disturbing encounters in life spur reflective thinking that jars a person from his or her exhausted ideologies and way of living.

Enthusiasm will frequently make a person look foolish, and result in intermittent periods of despondency and self-questioning, yet only exuberance and a degree of risk-taking leads us to wisdom.
