Knowledge is the key to Understanding the world around
us, without understanding the world we interact with, it is impossible to truly
understand yourself. To many people place importance on things such as test
scores and formal qualifications. Instead people should place the upmost
importance on gaining wisdom. This is done by gaining an understand of the
world around us, our friends family and our daily interactions with both people
and the environment. Take the time to reflect on your interactions with people,
no matter how insignificant they may seem. Whilst everyone’s journey is
individual and there is no way to experience everything in life, by reflecting
on interactions with others, you will begin to interpret things as if you have
experience all the things these people have also experienced.
Take the opportunity to learn new things, no matter how
insignificant they may seem, analysis everything around you, from how your ball
point pen works, to the complexities of a computers programming. You will find
by considering these things your understanding of how everything in the world
fits together will grow exponentially. Don’t limit yourself to learning about
one topic or item. Everything and everyone you interact with is worth reflecting
on and studying, as it’s a part of your life no matter how insignificant.
Without understanding the little things in life it is impossible to understand
the big things.
it Is your own responsibility to educate yourself on the
workings of the world around you, you must crave knowledge, crave
understanding, the key to experiencing life to the fullest is to understand
what you are dealing with. Everyone makes mistakes and people should not be
negatively reprimanded for mistakes made, learning from your mistakes is vital
to your growth of your being.
That's a very significant point. Unfortunately, midst busy life, people are running after appearances rather than the internal quality of a person. The 'herd' attitude makes it difficult for people to notice and reflect on things. This is even the case for one's own self. People lead their lives without full awareness of the self. This is a frustrating fact we see every where.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the intention that pushed you to share this. It's an appreciated reaction from your side to these scenes of absent-mindedness. I encourage you to post a link back to your post in my post: http://philosophy-of-living.com/the-lost-life/ I discuss there about self-awareness. Without it, everything is lost and life becomes a sort of automata.
