Everybody seems to know it all.
It baffles me how in a
gathering, hands are raised for the sake of clarification, making inquiries and
asking questions, and they are shut down and shouted at; murmurs in the form of
response to the question is heard in the gathering. There is an igbo adage that
translates directly as: “he who asks questions does not lose his way”. In my
opinion, if one knows it all, there is no need hiding under the guise of
ignorance or negligence of (that) knowledge. It is funny how we claim to know
it all, and yet we wallow in shallowness. We claim to have wisdom, yet
foolishness abounds greatly in our hearts and midst. We parade ourselves as
knowledgeable people, taking pride in “magnificent” content of our thoughts and
opinion, yet the outcome of our thoughts and perception is so selfish and
inconsiderate.
Yet,
what makes a perception good or bad, full of wisdom or foolishness?
… what do I know?
