In Spanish, the verb "experimentar" can mean both to experience and to experiment. I like to think this is a somewhat deliberate decision to symbolize that to experience ( that is, to live ) is to experiment, to try things out. As we get older, our freedom and willingness to experiment often drastically changes and we no longer feel safe or able to experiment. We believe that we should get things right and know better, robbing ourselves of the ability to learn. As soon as you stop experimenting, as soon as you stop willing to be wrong, you prevent yourself from being able to learn.
