Leila Barber - Martin Buber on experience

Experience is what humans learn from. It is how people create perspectives on life and gain morals. Martin Buber states:“The world does not participate in experience.  It allows itself to be experienced, but it is not concerned, for it contributes nothing, and nothing happens to it.” I think this statement is well put, for it is the person them self that creates the experience. It is an inner feeling and memory that we hold on to when something significant happens in one’s lifetime. The world is here to do its own thing...the creatures that embody it compliment these factors. We are the beings that contribute to the world and participate in the experience of it.
