What I didn't Understand
“You can only believe in what you don’t know.”
The following is my first essay written about the quote from last week. I understood it as “you don’t know what you don’t know”. I’m never one to waste much intentionally, so I felt like it was a great idea to keep the following and share it!
Expand your understanding of the world. Expand your understanding of the environment you are in. Expand your understanding of your relationships. Expand your understanding of yourself.
All of this takes time and effort and it will pay off. If you take the time to understand yourself everything else will be much more believable to you. You’ll have the ability to live much more at peace with what is around you. That doesn’t mean everything is perfect and great, but your ability to deal with what is happening will be much improved.
Understanding your relationships will give you the opportunity to see how you relate to others and how others relate to you. Literally what the word relationship is rooted in. The more you know about others, the more you can know about yourself.
Understanding your environment gives you the power to know what is around you and how it affects you and those in which you share an environment with. If where you live has a major disaster, you can make some educated guesses based on what you know about where you are. If where you live there is a new restaurant built that everyone loves, you know that the community will be more pleasant for a time. However, you have to know your environment to see this.
Understanding the world is a large task. No one understands the world completely and no one ever will. However, taking the time to understand the world will only benefit your environment, your relationships, and yourself. All of it is connected and it makes sense that it is.
Taking time to learn and grow will only help you and the world you live in. Selfishly, I want you to go learn more about all of the things I’ve mentioned because when you do you’ll make the world better for me too!
