One of the things that separates humans from animals is their ability to acquire knowledge. Therefore, a failure to make decisions based upon a clear perception of the truth leads me to an animalistic life based upon impulses. But acquiring knowledge is difficult. It requires consistent effort. It's easier to make decision impulsively, and dress up our ignorance in Christian lingo like, "I just feel led to do this." Often our expression of leading are simply admissions of ignorance. This week, we will learn why we have a grave personal responsibility to consistently acquire knowledge because knowledge is the buffer between impulse and action.
