"Knowing"

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)

Know it all
No, nothing at all
Know nothing at all
Learn something
Discover
That it's not all
But it's something
A step
Towards
Something more


Thanks for reading! I guess it can be hard to admit or even try to quantify how little we know but that's the first step to learning more. It adds up over time so we become better people. Unless you decide to only ever know what you already know...

Anyway...

Steem on!

The internet is liberating us from mind based knowledge, which as our dire state illustrates is a hopelessly inadequate culture. Perhaps a more useful form of 'knowing' is being present to what 'is' in every given moment, all we need to 'know' is contained in the moment if we have the good sense(s) to notice.

If I understand you correctly then I agree. There is probably more knowledge online than anyone can ever get through in several lifetimes but it's just as important to explore our own lived moments and learn from them first hand.
