INTO THE ABYSS 182 B

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE INTO THE ABYSS 182 B "Remembering does make us who we are, also ignoring what we should remember does it too. " So what is remembering? Long ago, back in our school days, we were told to remember things, it was called learning, as we learned more, we were able to "connect" those lessons, new things learned added to our knowledge, (so we were told), it is the way things have been since we started "learning". We learn what a wrench is, what a socket is, before we can become a mechanic. We learn how things work together. What if we refuse to learn though, we can say, okay, I know what a screwdriver is and that is enough. But then are you a mechanic, can you say how an engine is put together let alone how it works? Still, in our day to day life we see people that are stuck in this mindset. In all walks of life, in all manners, we all have high hopes for ourselves, we know everything. Just because you can have sex doesn’t mean that you can afford a family, that you know how to be a parent, no more than you know how the national or the world economy works just because you own a lawn care or a construction company, really. Having an opinion is easy. Having the knowledge is different. Totally. One of the faults of the modern media saturated culture is that we seem to believe that we know much more than we actually do. Once again, I go back to Plato's Allegory of the Cave, we only know what we have learned, no more no less, or as I like to say, "we are limited in our knowledge by what we know". Morality can only be taught by example! I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 03 JULY 2022
