(Lygenztia-*5) Why the hell don't you know?


The most interesting people that I know listen, much more than they talk. With every passing day that I age, I learn that I know next to nothing about this world.

What I have learned is that each and every other person that I know... knows something that I don't. So, they can teach me "something"."Something".

And is "something" trivial? Maybe not, when looked at through their prism. In this world, there are hundreds of countries, with different layers of government. Within those countries are numerous regional customs, norms, values and ways humans interact, socialize and compete. Within that dichotomy are faith based religions, cults, spiritual followers of all shapes and sizes.

To further dissect that little amoeba, we have the family dynamic that is unique to every single family unit..on the planet. Think of the infinite ways of thinking, acting, doing things and opinions.

Listen, don't talk. Listen.

The next time that you are at a social, spiritual, family or professional gathering and the one that professes to know it all, spews their perceived monopoly of knowledge..think of this, listen, laugh to yourself and realize that they can't possibly know everything.

Lygenztia just proved it.
