One of the most awesome diseases in our society and in particularly in ‘our community’ is ignorance(lack of knowledge). What else is interesting is the fact that mental diseases run the same ‘muck’ as physical diseases. People have a tendency to wait until it’s too late to look for the cure. When you talk to people with the desire to share informative knowledge there’s a strong tendency for them to fight you because they would rather fight you instead of learning from you. Our people parish for a lack of knowledge.
Have you ever been in a conversation where you knew for absolute certainty that you knew that you knew that you knew that you were telling some real truth and no one wanted to listen. You can really tell when someone was irritated by the truth when their comments would be; “ahhh N_ _ _ _ that’s a bunch of b_ _ _ S_ _ _”. The next time someone responds to you that way when you’re trying to educate them just remind them of how valuable ‘that stuff’ is to a farmer, it makes the best fertilizer in the world. Without it there is no growth.
Take a look a the following and I’ll guarantee it’s not…..but it still will help you grow
Learning New Things
Remember, learning new things about mis-information can be educational but getting information and believing it will enlighten and otherwise get people corrected can be a most grave mistake. I learned from a wise old woman that it is best to let sleeping dogs lie and let those who think they know keep thinking.
