KNOWING FOR NOT KNOWING

During my college days, I learned so many things. Through moralities of life or just by simple things that normal people do every day. Here’s a thought that you might want to give it a proper understanding. I don’t remember who said this but by reading it, it gives you serious considerations how people have a little understanding even if they are professionals in their field of expertise. “A genius admits he knows nothing. An idiot claims he knows everything”. One can learn so many things in this world but nevertheless, admits he still don’t know everything in this world. He admits our world is full of mysteries and those are not just what you see in photos, magazines, brochures or any other publications. Every corner of the globe has its surprising findings and yet, we haven't reached the bottom of the iceberg, the reasons of a huge crater in Africa, the deepest sea found in the pacific, the evolutionary details of a fruitfly. Everything around us needs discoveries, explained, and recorded. Our world is occupied with surprises, good or bad, they are information we ultimately understand.

One person started to tell you how it works without flushing any consideration how and what things came to be. Immediately gives you reason that one can only conclude that everything happens for one reason and nothing else. If you think otherwise, you must be poles apart from the conventional ways or rather an irrational person. Let me give you an example. A person saw two babies in separate strollers. One has a deformed right arm and the other has none. The person concluded that it is what it is and admits that god has its reasons. That’s it, end of story. The person will only conclude the unsolved that god did it because of his ways. That’s really senseless kind of thinking because if you can’t explain the mysteries – one has to conclude that one being created it for reasons. What will happen to the poor kid when he/she grows up? Will he/she explains that it is god’s will or you explained to him/her the exact reasons why you have deformed arm? Does it mean that god has no mercy because he/she is created with deformities? The point is when you don’t understand things – explore. Read, discover and explain the most detailed way possible so the person will understand.

I am puzzled by some people that don’t discover the possibilities of what our world is giving us. We move forward we don’t stop from learning. You know what the “book” means to us, correct? Control. If you think outside you must be heretic – yes, that was then. But, it is still practiced until this day. You may not see it but others found it.
