The Danger of Knowing

Once a mind has started thinking it has fully understood, it becomes conceited.

That is the danger of knowing.

When a mind is conceited...

...it refuses to accept new things
...it rejects learning and opinions
...it might even become oppressive
...it dies

How many times have you blurted out at somebody for not knowing how to do things? Simple things, as you thought back then.

Have you ever thought of this: "That you do not know enough of what you thought you knew, even if you invented or created it?"

Has it occurred to you that you've been imposing your "knowledge" to someone who doesn't agree with your point of view?

Reflect.

Think.

Re-learn your ways.

You might just be an inch away from killing your mind.
