Information vs. Knowledge

 If  Life was a puzzle and we all played it...all of us having quite different segments of the puzzle of Life and we added them to make the whole picture of Life beautiful?...

We all have a knowledge of some kind?  We are all born with some of it and the rest ( strictly individually) we aquire during our lifetime.

Some people gain more knowledge, some less and it is optional what do we do with this knowledge.

There is an infinite knowledge in the Universe and it is absolutely certain that we could not aquire all of this knowledge in one lifetime. 

What we could do in a lifetime though is; expand a certain knowledge to a comfortable level and use it kindly in a good favour not only to ourselves but to the people around us.

 What could we do with the knowledge we come across with ? Sharing is Caring... The natural law is to share :  

1. Pass our knowledge freely to all those we come in contact with, who are interested in growing their knowledge by adding the knowledge we freely share with them. 

2. Aquire knowledge.

 Meanwhile we gain some of the knowledge from the people we get in contact with, that they give to us freely to add to the puzzle of Life and complete the beautiful picture of Life. 

In a world so diversed, so colourful but sometimes so absurd, we all have The free will of gaining and giving the knowledge that we come across with and the one we humbly aquired.  And in this whole process we are not alone.  

There is always someone around us who can give some grain of knowledge to us and always someone who can aquire a grain of  knowledge from us.

 This is how the puzzle of Life is designed.

 This is the Nature of Life.

 This is how we grow.  

What we need to remember in this everlasting exchange - to give just enough and to take just enough because sometimes by exceeding our ability to give or to take ( knowledge) leads us  to some surprising outcomes. 

To avoid unpleasant outcomes or outcomes with no positive effect on us and the people around us we all need to develop the ability to distinguish the passing information from the true knowledge and make sure we understand this :

" Too much information equals Zero information ".

 This too applies to the knowledge we want to aquire or the knowledge we want to freely share (give). 

Remember Prometheus? - the Titan God of Fire  who wanted to improve the life of Men and gave them the Fire.

 It was his divine choice of giving his knowledge to those who were not yet ready to receive it. In return he was punished by the Gods. 

For the puzzle of Life to become a divine work of  the mankind, content and complete, we also need to aquire the knowledge of how to balance these few things:  what and how much are we able to give and to whom  and what and how much are we able to recieve and from who and this is also a very important detail in the puzzle of Life.

Every time we are in exchange of endless details of Life  and its Knowledge.

Do we ask ourselves, what is our capacity of taking and giving and most importantly: 

Is this a True Knowledge I aquire? Is this a True Knowledge I pass on to the others? How much True knowledge I can aquire and how much i can give freely?  

Is my knowledge of a greater service of mankind?

The information itself is but a "broken" piece of the puzzle of  Life and if we want to add a whole and useful piece to the puzzle, we most certainly need to aim always the True Knowledge - the one which is adding understanding, sensible growth and love to all.

 Both ways - giving and receiving - just enough.
