Are You Experienced?

No, I’m not thinking of Jimi Hendrix’s first album. I’m thinking of The Devil’s Dictionary definition of experience as compiled by Ambrose Bierce.

"Experience, n. The wisdom that enables us to recognize as an undesirable old acquaintance the folly that we have already embraced."

Via the Anal Philosopher who posts some verse by Joel Frad Bink to accompany the above definition of Bierce’s.
