May 11th, 2023: Learning and Searching

The best way to learn is to question everything we don't understand. The worst way to learn is to memorize everything without understanding. We are annoyed when two-year-old kids keep asking why and we ask them to be quiet. That might be the first mistake in encouraging a youngster to learn.

We live in a time when much of the research studies have been guided by our political, social, and sexual agenda. We are not allowed to ask questions that seem offensive to others. People, in general, have also become wimpy and get hurt very quickly.

Our intellectual fortitude has been damaged by fragility and fear. We cannot get better if we are not free to disagree and have our own opinions. It does not mean it is right to discriminate against others. However, learning demands a process of analyzing and decimating various human thoughts.

We commit intellectual suicide if our social agenda at the time dictates everything we learn. There is a difference in understanding the new normalcy and discerning what is right.

 

Isaiah 55:8-9    

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
