Wow, while studying for dutch, just had a revelation about what you THINK you know and what you REALLY understand: if you see that you have almost everything wrong, then you didn't understand it.
I also realised that if you apply this to any part of your life, then you can actually be kinder to yourself. I mean how much do we truly understand?? That's also the difference between learning and just studying.

I definitely towards the inward-turning-observer side, but I’ve found those observations never amount to anything if you don’t put them to use. You can gain all this understanding and certainty within yourself but if it’s limited to your own inner world that’s more or less within your control, then you’ll be stuck learning the same things over and over. Without action, a thought is just a thought.

The puffin is the latest addition to more than 180 known species—many of them sharks, corals, and other marine animals—that emit a luminous glow.
The fact that so many marine animals biofluoresce "tells us organisms are using light in ways we don't even see," John Sparks, curator of fishes at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.
