If

Why is it hard to sum up all of those things that we have learned while being alive here on earth? Why can't I just tell you, "In ten minutes you are going to be hit by a bus, and so in those ten minutes, you must quickly itemize all those things what you have learned from being alive."
Chances are that you would have a blank list. And even if you gave the matter great concentration, you would still have a blank list. And yet we know in our hearts that we learn the greatest and most profound things by breathing, by seeing, by feeling, by falling in and out and in and out of love.
