The challenge to unlearn

"Learning isn't easy" - how often do we hear that?

Think again.
It's the un-learning that is tough.

Try unlearning our driving or cycling skills...skills get rusty over time, but they would never be unlearned. Likewise for the societal expectations...we are used to living under the scrutiny of others. Or rather, we have been brought up under such environment.

Try to unlearn living according to social rules or norms, to unlearn the comfort-seeking needs, to unlearn having desires...good to be mindful but to actually do it?

My feel: instead of trying to unlearn, I think it should be learning how to deal with what has been learnt. That might be easier :)
