‘Ignorance is bliss, for the ignorant…’
-The Puppet Master
You have to admit it feels good to know things. A sense of superiority, no matter how humble the person, fills a being when he finds out he understands more or better than others around him. Knowledge is a powerful weapon.
Ignorance, by the same token, is a great curse afflicting human society. Those powerful enough to keep knowledge limited and keep it from reaching the hands of the populace are dictators and tyrants of the worst kind.
Why do we choose to keep knowledge from others? Do we have such low self-esteem that we need even this to feel superior?
Teaching is one of the best professions there is out there, if you come to think of it. Teachers are much more powerful than military leaders, doctors, artists, writers and even rulers. Teachers create each and all of them.
Speak honestly to others when asked, and reveal all you know. Give unto others, transmit your knowledge, for in the end it will otherwise all go to the grave, where not even the worms will get sustenance from it.
Lesson learned: ‘If I teach all the ways I can save a life perhaps I will be saved in the same way in the future’.

Mmmmm I kind of disagree with the post. If there are people more "knowledgeable" than others, their mission is not to teach to save the other people... their mission is to lead others to their discovery of their own knowledge. We fight ignorance by showing them the way and letting them come up with their own redefinition.
I agree with you, and not knowingly, you are agreeing with me. To make it clear I didn't mean everyone's mission is to teach others. I'm just expressing it is a noble mission. Leading the way is a way of teaching, of assisting. Of helping another person acquire knowledge.
I mostly agree. People that don't willingly share what they know are very selfish people.
Hoy me demostraste que pones en práctica lo que expresas. Gracias por compartir lo que conoces sin esperar nada a cambio, simple y únicamente la satisfacción de ayudar con un poco de sabiduría.
