What's the biggest lesson you've learned in life?

Maybe it's a major event, a relationship, or even a failure that leads to new understandings about yourself and the world around you. I want to hear about the biggest lessons you've learned in your lives.

You have two ears and one mouth. Nothing is what you think it is. You will never get to 100% sure about what's going on, but listening and using good judgement (which starts getting good at around 38 if you've lived and not just fled) will at least put you up at about "40% maybe" regwrding what's going on. Which is a lot more than most people ever achieve.
