Knowing . . . .
Knowing is a strong weapon against ignorance. It builds it’s strength on a preface that enables one to engage in ways that may eventually result to excellence especially when the knowledge or information gained is actually applied in the manner that it can yield fruitfully. Knowing automatically becomes empowerment when we choose to be guided by it through right use and application.
Sliding through delightful diligence the duty-bound years yearned for answers unreached and plans unfulfilled.
Unfurling the map that we may navigate our daily duties and expectations with ease and efficiency.
There are always two sides of a coin so also to life and everything it represents. As long as there is a head, there will always be a tail, even as there is a beginning so is there an end. Knowing is the other side of the coin that keeps us aware and prepared for great feats and progression. Knowing is the power everyone needs each day to walk the right path. The conspiracy of ignorance is quite a bliss but the evil of ignorance is long lasting.
Confer the truth always even when it brings no comfort because it’s kind and honorable above all restoring and time lasting. There’s grace that comes with being in the know, you stay unrattled, you breathe with ease and you are able to withstand the entreaties of life. Knowing depicts staying above ignorance and all its dangers.
The sellout is puzzling, the quest for truth has gone far beyond the surface, for many are the bearers of false knowledge and the sycophantics vitiation. Knowing sometimes comes with a price so great, making it very expensive but ignorance is much more expensive because, its damages can sometimes be irreparable.
In the recent times, ignorance has been the only place where peace abides, where worries abate, where fear is unknown and the trauma of mental distress resulting from all the incidents of violence and disaster around the world unexperienced.
Should we then choose ignorance? Does it make our realities go away? Does it solve our problems? Should we sink into the bliss it offers and mortgage our tomorrow? What is the benefit of knowing and doing nothing? When is it ever going to be the right time? When will we ever be ready to embrace our truth and deal with it? When will knowing become our emancipation? I can go on and on and on but knowing without putting to use is as good as ignorance, for the measure of the strength of power is in its application. . . without which there is no telling its extent and potency. Stand up therefore, for what you know especially if it’s true, honest and sincere without prejudice or bias but with dignity, credibility and integrity… Let’s free our conscience from the bondage of the silence of our actions, from the doubts of our thoughts and from watching and doing nothing even when we know that knowing without action is as good as the fool’s paradise!
Look inwards therefore, right into your thoughts and see what you have been refusing to admit because it’s true and it hurts. . . It is better to deal with it now and move on especially when you are still strong and have the mental, emotional and physical capacity to get it on with, because when you are old, vulnerable, weak and frail both in mind and body, then there will be no guarantee of surviving the shatter that normally accompanies such life defining moments where even your shadow may abandon you because of the knowledge that is resident right inside of you. Arise therefore and let knowing lead the way to a new lease of a a better you and I, a better us and most importantly, a better world where ignorance is not an option, for reality remains the only way forward to true freedom.
