It’s been said that knowledge is power. While that’s true to an extent, it isn’t the whole truth. Knowledge without action is almost useless. It doesn’t help to be a genius if you never do anything with the knowledge. I tend to think of knowledge as ammunition and action as a gun. (It’s a typical guy thought, I know but it works for me.) Think about it. If you have bullets and no gun, they’re pretty much useless. If you have a gun and no bullets, the best you can do is throw (action) the gun at the target. Not as useless as the bullets (knowledge) since action without knowledge is more productive than knowledge without action

I’ve read article on how to make money, on religion, on how to motivate myself and others and several other subjects and realized that regardless of how much info I’ve gained, it’s worthless if I don’t act on the knowledge. And it’s the same for everyone. It wouldn’t matter if you had a PhD in Quantum Physics if you worked at McDonalds, or a library full of books and never used the knowledge within, now would it? I’ve met some really intelligent homeless people and some stupid millionaires and the biggest difference is action. Let me say this again, ACTION. Action makes people successful to a certain degree. Not to say that any action will make people successful. Jumping up and down or changing channels will not do it, but action of any kind that propels you toward your target goal will get you they eventually.

Another way to think of it is like having a map. I could give you a map to a lost treasure, but if you never left your house, it wouldn’t do much good would it?

Basically, knowing that knowledge can create problems, being ignorant of the fact would be wrong. Instead of ignorance, we should use reason to solve said problems.

If you ignore any problem that has occur in some complex situation you’ll not be able to solve this situation because this problem could be the “key” for solving of situation. But our knowledge can cause that you’ll not use simple access in resolving of this problem than some very complicated way. In this case you’ll “crash into” some obstacles and it cause that your brain try to ignore this problem…and this situation become unsolved to you. Veradisca & Best Regards, Neven.

Basically he is saying…

‘Yes, knowledge can create problems. However, don’t take that as being ignorant can help or solve them. Continue to seek more and more knowledge.’

If knowledge can create problems, we need to delve into the problems, gain more knowledge, look at their different aspects, and then solve them. We can not just ignore them, they will blow up in our faces.

The more knowledge you have, the more challenges your mind will lead you to try and solve. But he is saying that we cannot expect to gain yet more knowledge by ignoring our previously gained knowledge.

it cyclical.

It means if knowledge screws up your idea of truth (i.e. God) then you need to approach countering the scientific data with further scientific data – not mumbo jumbo.

Basically the more we know, the more problems arise, and we can’t solve these problems by being dumb…I think.

I think it means ignorance is bliss

emm………..HI!
