When it comes to knowledge, without having all you do not have any. Once, people proudly proclaimed the world was flat. And they were wrong.
Lack of knowledge is not shameful. Willful ignorance most definitely is. Refusing to acknowledge the obvious denotes a deep-seated fear of the truth.
One's perspective does not change reality. No matter how many people share it, that does not affect what is. We should be wary of the so-called experts.
How often does this narrative change? Those who were dogmatic become the masters of retraction. The foundation they laid is so swiftly exhumed.
We live in extraordinary times, but what we ken has been learned through error. Do not make the mistake of hubris. Admit what you do not know.
The most basic of questions we cannot answer. Such mysteries are yet to be revealed. Fret not, there are few things better than the joy of discovery.
There are two truths. There is the way of the world and the way of the Lord. The way of the world is the cynical truth based on the animal side of the human being. It had always been the way of good men to utterly ignore it and even fight against it if needed. If you personally believe these worldly truths (which are in fact true), you are a part of the problem. You are dealing with the animal and not the spiritual. The two were never meant to have anything to do with one another. Trying to acknowledge both of them as relevant is extremely lukewarm.
ReplyDeleteThe way of the Lord means you live for greater things and act always to uplift those around you. It is never tit for tat. You do what you can to help yourself but you also help others who are worth it (those who will not tear you down) simultaneously. If you do not follow the way of the Lord, you are a part of the problem. You are wishy-washy! You are pointless! That is all.
There are those who lead and the rest follow. When you know what you are dealing with, you are better prepared to fight against it. Putting your head in the ground, just gets sand in your ears.
DeleteMany confuse wisdom and knowledge, we can know all the secrets of the universe and it would benefit us nothing. Just take Adam for example. We are to be as wise as serpents but innocent as doves. A dark agenda exists because of knowledge the few stand apart from it because of wisdom.
ReplyDeleteKnowing something is one thing, understanding it is another. We should instead be trying to use the little bit we know to make things better. Leave the secrets to themselves.
