In order to understand the world, we must first understand that what we think we understand we really have no idea of. What we think we know is not always accurate, or true. Nothing, is set in stone. Death is set in stone, but sometimes when and how we die is up to us, but it is mostly up to fate.

In truth the only way to understand is to accept that we truly do not know anything as much as we think. We think we know certain people, but people change. We think we know things about the earth, but the earth changes. We think we know about the sun, but the sun changes. Sometimes people are just too proud to admit that they don't know something, but that is one of the keys to progressing in life, is it not?. Too much pride can kill somebody, and it's just as bad as being ignorant.

Now I am not saying that nobody knows anything, I am saying we really don't understand a lot that we think we do. We may have a general understanding, but we should always remember that things change, and everything happens for a reason. Good or bad, it is up to us to figure out what the reason is, and try to understand what the change means by accepting the change, not always just question why things have to change.

Acceptance is key: accept that you don't know if you really don't know, accept that you are wrong when you are shown to be wrong, and know that in order to understand the world, you must first understand yourself.

sUmoNe once said:

"We have n0thing to fear but fear itself."

That's kNot correct, for We have n0thing to fear but that which We don't Understand. If We will just take the time to Understand that which We don't Understand, We will have n0thing to fear but Ignorance itself and from there, Ignorance can be eradicated through Understanding.

Ps: Acceptence is kNot the answer, Understanding is because Acceptence and Understanding are kNot synonyms. Hugs

Zeroness is true Understanding. :thumbup

And when we understand, we understand that we should never understand again.

If one is honest and truly seeking any sort of lasting wisdom...their thoughts and positions will change about every 7-10 years, sometimes much more often. As they get older, they'll look back and laugh at themselves.

With time, everything becomes comical.

Anyone who has never seen themselves as a complete idiot at least a few times in their lives, no matter how old or young they may be is a criminal sociopath or worse.

And yet we still vote for them.

I know this to be true.

At 20, i thought i knew everything.

At 30, i knew that i knew everything. ;)

At 40, i realised that despite all that i knew, there was so much more to be learned.

At 50, i understood that we know f*ck all.

At 60, it dawned on me, that knowledge is wasted if you are unable to use it, kind of a burden.

chuckle

I ain't lookin forward to 70. :(

I don't actually believe in reincarnation, but if true, i wanna come back as an imbecile.

Life is so much easier for them. Their lives may actually be f*cked, but they don't even know it. chuckle
