What is knowledge?

What is knowledge.... The ability to know the facts? The capability to create an illusion and image to the public? I rather look at knowledge in an abstract way. Knowledge = Understanding Life from the aspect of love, wisdom and sympathy.















Bertrand Russell once said,
'Three passions have governed my life:
The longings for love, the search for knowledge,
And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind].

Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
In the union of love I have seen
In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision
Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.

With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of [people].
I have wished to know why the stars shine.

Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
Of children in famine, of victims tortured
And of old people left helpless.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,
And I too suffer.

This has been my life; I found it worth living. '


Life these days have been too hard for everyone. The passion for finding the truth beneath these lies has gone. Image are more important than principles. Knowledge teach us the fundamental of love and how to use it.... Blessing your enemies is a way of showing love and getting knowledge. The world is a small place. Bless your enemies as they do not know how much harm they did to the world and what they will get as returns. Bless them as they judge the world before they are judged. Love them as they teach you and show you actions and personalities you never see before. Love and Knowledge then bring you to humanity. Always remember this, Life means drama, Failures are lessons, Success marks effort, and Events show friends.
