From the moment we are born we begin to learn. A mountain of information and experiences awaits us and we feast on it like a sponge absorbing water. Our brains are never satisfied, never filled with too much information. It’s appetite is insatiable. In time our understanding improves and grows. We sort the information and store it away. Later in life we refer to our vast library and use the information gathered to aid us in whatever we do. Not all information is accessible for some but for others there is no problem. For some people the information gets distorted and therefore gets miss-used. In the eyes of the more cognitive they become fools. Having great wisdom is desireable and only the wise will use their knowledge properly. The fool doesn’t care for he lacks that wisdom. He is unaware so it isn’t a problem. Who is the wise and who is the fool among us? Does it really matter? Of too much learning we become fools but we can never learn too much. Who then is the real fool? Is it wise to become foolish or is it foolish to become wise and what is the difference? The miss-use of knowledge is a lamentable thing and only the wise know what is best. Not all are wise, not all are foolish. The wise do not seek foolishness and the foolish do not seek wisdom. When the foolishness of the wise is greater than the wisdom of fools however they are no better off. Seek wisdom but use it wisely. Be foolish and all is lost.
Ecclesiastes (throughout)
