I don't know 2.09





There are things in our life that we really don't know. Although we come across that word much often and we think that we know about it but in essence we really don't know. We don't know the meaning of such word. The implication of that thing. The purpose for it. And the actions to represent it. For my part, I don't know still why do we study. I have been to schools for approximately ten years already. Starting from nursery to secondary education. But still, studying is really out of the question. So, how did I really pass those exams and the like. Well, if cheating is one way. And the other one is lucking guessing.

For now, that I realized that there are two things that come acrossed my mind when I think about studying. The relevant question is how far would you study a thing. One side would say that you study things sufficiently or enough. And, on the other hand, you study all of the things that evolves on it.

On the first side, when you just studied enough for you to know. That would be challenging isn't it? You would expect surprises to come on your way. And by then that you knowledge reached its limit and you really don't know what the answer, that it the time you would think thoroughly. And try to analyze things. Try to see a pattern. And, eventually, if you are lucky you would get the right thing. And the wrong one if you are unlucky. The bad side is you are prone to mistakes for you are uncertain with some answers for your knowledge is just limited.

On the other hand, if you study all of it. Every paradigm. Every point of view. All of it. Then, although it is time consuming and hassle but the trade off of it is that you are confident already about what you learnt. You won't panick anymore. And you are somewhat overpower your enemy. The bad thing about this is that it isn't anymore exciting for you know already what will happen and thus it is boring on your part.

To give you a picture, imagine that there is a war going on. Who would you think would win. An army who studies everything about their enemy. Well, after all, the only successful war that took place is the one when the intelligence is so great isn't it?
