Talk:experience

RFV discussion

 * I have come across this. I kind of associate it with hippy or new age babblings ("Don't think, just experience, man!"). I could only find this one example, but it's quite a tough one to Google for:
 * It gives them a chance to think about things, or the opportunity to not think and just experience.

 * I found another very similar one through Google Books in "Boost Your Self-Esteem" by John Caunt, 2002, page 82:


 * Don't think, just experience.
