Understanding over Knowledge..?

I've been sleeping early for these few days, I mean really early. I'll take my bath at 7pm and I'll be tucking in by 8pm and here I am wide awake. Ever since, I felt like writing back, a part of me which I never imagine tapped before.

Theres a discussion, or should I say a meeting which I attended with The Great Minds of the World. Really a relief you know, getting some enlightenment from The Great Mind himself, every part of our body needs to consume something, no?. Its like I'm craving for more and more, but its getting harder and harder each step I take to the stair which several months back I weren't able to even see the door.

The Great Mind mentioned, knowledge is a carrier for a value, and what is that value? Understanding of different sorts of knowledge will give you the other half to materialize what was written or told. Its obvious that, Understanding is still more valuable. Knowledge?

Anyone can obtain knowledge, through reading or forced to read, thats why around us, we are able to confront with two genres of human kind. The Dropouts and The Graduates.

Status of who is being smarter and who is being more successful was always an issue in human life for centuries. But, was it an issue for God? We are taught by our religion not to hate our enemy but to forgive and be nice to them. That one particular sentence can mean a lot of things.

It doesn't have to be our enemy as in people that hurt us or people that ruined our life in the past. Its about leveling, segregating, truncating and putting a border line between each other. Its an easier way to make one feel better in his/her comfort zone.

What if you were to think really carefully about what I've mention in the earlier paragraph "through reading or forced to read". You all know that our parents really love us, is just that, the various ways of affections that they shown to us through out the years and years to come effects us in different way. Some had good experience and some had it the other way.

No everyone can be the same, else there will be no balance. So the ones that reads a lot doesn't mean will get good scores in schools or university, the ones that are shown in the news through variety ways of mass media are just a small percentage the success rate.

Actually, the one that really enjoys reading are the ones that spend half of their lifetime reading. It can be anything, from reading story books to comic books. These are the ones that even risk their time for reading, where their parents want them to do some other activities which they thought its more productive, then just sitting in a spot and hopefully their eyes won't get spoiled being to stagnant.

As for the ones that are force to read, these are the ones that actually suffer in their lifetime. Forced to read and like it, force to understand, which is something not right to do.

But, every parents wants a better life for their generation to come. We can't blame whats above us. We have to deal with it and move on, so that our generations to come won't have to face the same shit that we've been through.

When the one that likes to read stumble across something they shouldn't have, their perception towards something changed. Principles and rules build up around them. These are when they space out and isolate themselves. I'm not saying is a bad thing, but to learn so much about something in life makes one a more dangerous person. Don't forget the Englishmen once said, "Its better not to know, then to know".

The one that are forced to read does not give a shit about what they are reading as long as they memorizes it and pass every single test in school and drill their way right in the university. End of the day when they start a career life, nothing that they have read can be put into practice. Frustration builds up, stress levels are hitting boiling spots, anger rages and temper devour. Suicide was always the easy way to get away with things, again an easy way to your comfort zone. Theres a saying, "When you do it, do it right".

Now, who would be fallen into the category of understanding and who will be in the podium of knowledge? Does it matters?

Still, by working together hand in hand, results will be shown. Thus, theres a place call "company" or "workspace" for these heads to collide and make things happen. With understanding and knowledge materializing something will be made possible.

But at one point, human will start to get smart and start to get arrogant (no wonder the aliens don't like us so much). We start to fight over who will take the limelight.

Was it worth it? To study till your heads ticked like a time bomb. Was is worth it? To stay jobless and do things that one wants to do? Was it worth it? To just stay in a spot where you're been offered a better one? Was it worth it? To climb the stairs as quick as you can to get to the top?

These are all rubbish I'm reminding you. Until then.. Ja-na!
