"The mind is furnished with ideas by experience alone." – John Locke
Locke believed we are born with no ideas — no knowledge. Only through life, trial, failure, and discovery do we shape our thinking.
🧠 Your mind isn’t a container of facts — it’s a canvas of lived experiences. You don’t become wise by reading alone. You become wise by living.
This reflection explores how every moment you survive, question, or feel is furnishing the room that is your mind.
