Lessen vs. Lesson

A good lesson can be learned when one lessens dependence upon objects to make them happy. This lesson is hard to take at first, when the society we live in seems to urge against it. By learning this lesson, though, one can lessen the load on your mind and heart because you aren’t keeping so occupied with everything. Perhaps another lesson to learn comes from trying to lessen our anger or frustration with others by realizing it’s okay to be ourselves. If we can’t lessen our desire for the approval of others we may never learn the lesson that we are unique and exactly the person we were meant to be. So let us all learn a lesson—lessen what isn’t good in your lives and live more fully than ever before.
