There are
things almost all of us know. There are also things only a few among us are
lucky to know. There are fewer things only a very few among us have the ability
to know. And, finally, there are things none of us can claim to know.
What we circulate as knowledge
are the things a few are lucky to know and the things a few have the ability to
know. It is a bit strange, but true, that the knowledge in circulation is
continually being questioned, revised, discarded, researched and renewed,
always remaining partly accepted and partly rejected. It is difficult to deny
that the knowledge under circulation, the product of human intellect, has never
served the mankind sufficiently well.
The things we know a little
about need deep thinking, much experiencing and prolonged experimentation for
which we hardly have enough time at our disposal. Do we ever question ourselves
why we do not take things that are well known to the most of us with the seriousness
that they deserve? If we don’t, why don’t
we do it? Is it the human ego that misguides us, or is it the perpetual fear of
the unknown things about life that always tempt us to seek extraordinary
solutions to the inevitable that we want to fight against?
The God naturally equipped us
well enough to help us deal with our lives, just as He has done it with other
living beings. Being human beings, we want more; but we lack the patience
needed for it. Perhaps, we have failed to explore the truth from the vast and
all pervasive potential of the common knowledge we human beings collectively
possess.
