Concepts

What are Concepts? Maybe, how I view the World?
What does it entail for me to grasp it?

Firstly, if I am able and smart enough - Book Knowledge:
By learning some Philosophy, a little bit of History
And not confusing it with Histrionics of everyday Politics;
Then Finances, smidge of Sociology wouldn’t hurt at all;
And also adding all Self-Education I could master 
On additional subjects that of interest to me 
Be that Economy or Geo-Politics. 

Secondly – by mixing it up in social gatherings,
By having lots of fun with all sorts of people, 
Experiencing Utter Ugliness or, sometimes, Internal Beauty 
Of Earth inhabitants in all its throng;
Thus, adding some Street Smarts to my pitiful Knowledge.

By mixing it, hopefully, in right proportion
And constantly drilling myself with five W’s, only one H;
(Who, What, Where, When, Why and How) 
Thus, forming my own subjective Dialectics 
(Lousy Autodidact I am)
I finally end up with my own Concepts.

You define concepts with an open mind and down to earth reasoning, Arthur. I like your way of thinking! ~ All the best. // paul
