With Knowledge

With Knowledge – LJH 23/6/15 EDITED 21/8/15 Many people know the cardinal points, North, South, East and West. Yet the bearings that direct our thoughts are less commonly known. We all attempt to command our own thoughts in order to give meaning to our lives. Some are highly successful. Some are not so. Lack of knowledge coupled with the motion of thought makes it harder to command or control one’s mind. Knowledge is fundamental in directing our thoughts and influences who we are or become. To gain knowledge one has to consistently feed the brain information. Information that became knowledge through the evolution of man. With knowledge we create structure to help explore who we are. With knowledge the challenges of thought can bring us closer to solutions. With knowledge we have the foresight to fulfil our potential. With knowledge, food for thought inspires all that we have yet to discover!

" There is one good, knowledge and one evil, ignorance" Socrates, Greek philosopher, 469-399 BC. To talk about knowledge we have first to be able to define it along with its denotation and connotations. In reality we know very little, although we think we know a lot. A very thought provoking and ambitious poem that deals with such a huge subject. Well done. Keep up the good writing and welcome!

Hey Laura Hay, stopped by for a visit. This is a deeply thought out treatise on knowledge of the physical (manifested) universe and mankind's search to try and understand what it means and how to apply it in the everyday life experience. Well done! Be Blessed, Neva

Hi Laura...knowledge is the basis of most things in life, especially education wise. Lack of knowledge leaves us stuck in the quick-sands of ignorance. Struck by the way you built your argument...a rung at a time! ~ Regards // paul
