Introspection is defined as the examination of one's own conscious thoughts and feelings. In psychology the process of introspection relies exclusively on observation of one's mental state, while in a spiritual context it may refer to the examination of one's soul.
The ability to understand people lies within understanding yourself and understanding how people feel about themselves. Some would call it psychology / the study of the human mind, but that implies that there are prefixes and that we have predetermined States of mind and thought patterns, Which couldn't be more wrong.
If there's anything I've learned its that people are different, not just as they act, but more importantly as they think... People can never be classified... We aren't animals... But if anything, understanding the nature of people only leads to disliking them... We tend of enquire about things we don't really want the answers to... Is knowledge really power?
The most intellectual among us say Omniscience is an impossible pursuit. Change is probably the precursor to this impossibility... We can't know everything because the state of everything is ever-changing...
What if I told you that he who knew the least amongst us was the most intelligent? Would you trust it? :)
Lemme explain... There's been one unarguable truth amongst the pursuers of Omniscience, that "The more you learn, the less you know"... Knowledge comes with understanding how little you actually know...
He who knows least, has a greater grasp on his existence... Those that know more tend to be darker and more pessimistic... Less becomes of the world, the more you know.
Knowledge does not come with power nor responsibility ,it comes with wisdom and wisdom comes with regret ... the more we grow, the less becomes of us...
Knowledge is a triviality the pursuers of omniscience chase ... we cannot become as intellectual as we want without loss of self...
Having said all that... It is still better to know than not to... One should never opt for blindness when seeing is an option... Do not choose to be blind because you don't like what you see... See and embrace the bullshit ... You might be better for it.

I am getting mixed feelings about this,What do you mean "the more you learn,the less you know" I thought one is better knowing than not knowing at all?
ReplyDeleteIn learning more , you learn how little you actually know ... knowledge comes with wisdom , the wiser you get , the more you know you don't know about things... so ironically he who has a more limited knowledge of their reality has a greater grasp of it...
