Stop pretending that One Piece has deeper lessons to teach you and to be applied on life. It is ridiculous when people says "One Piece saved my life! I learned so much with it" and all that bullshit. One Piece is only to be enjoyed(or not).
Luffy is dumb and that "lesson" is straight bullshit.
This is often used by POOR people that never look in the future or learn from the past so they keep poor, doing the same mistakes etc. Not even Luffy is living this way. He learn from his mistakes from the past and look for the future otherwise he wouldn't train for 2 years to be ready for New World.
And that' how people keep voting in politics that already was arrested for corruption or other crimes and that's how they never change their lifes and their country, city, state never solve their problems and only add new problems.
That's the definition of being dumb. Although Luffy does think is just Oda saying that he doesn't and not usually showing it. But here a clear examples of it.
I'll start. I think one of the simplest and greatest lessons I've learned from this series is that to truly be free, one must live in the present. We mainly see this through Luffy, as he is constantly living in the moment no matter what. One of the best instances of this, was in Arlong Park, when Nojiko was about to explain Nami's backstory.

Luffy doesn't need to know about a character's past to know that he wants what's best for them, and in this case it's Nami's personal freedom. That's why it hits so hard when Luffy destroyed her navigation room, as it was a symbol of the past that kept her shackled. Even in one of the most recent chapters, we see Garp remind Kuzan of this crucial lesson.
It's also important to note that Luffy has never had even one internal monologue in the entire series. He always speaks what he's thinking, no matter how ridiculous it may be.
