I have had a major problem since Monday (being a while I wrote this, timing may not be exact) and in a quest to solving it, I have had to find out a lot of things doing that. Well, I'm a better person this week than I was last week as I have learnt something new, yay!!! This can never be the reason I'm writing this, who even wants to know what I learnt sef but I discovered something about humans doing that.
Dear one, we are created to be the most intelligent beings not because knowledge comes with us at birth (except in cases of abnormality of which I've not heard or read), but due to the fact that we're blessed with a super power known as learning capacity.
As you've known I'm in my service year and I've met a lot of people who I have been carefully observing and found out a whole lot of things which I'll share now.
First, there's a class who don't know and yet they don't want to know (help can still reach these ones but they are not our focus today).
Secondly, there is this class that there's a will to want to learn but it ain't strong enough to push them to find it themselves, they'd rather wait on someone to help them find out.
Finally and most disgusting are the people that know (in the real sense they don't know, you'd soon know how), these ones would always interject every discussion in a bid to come with a superior knowledge that no one seem to know.
When I met such people first, I thought they always knew all correctly until I took my time to start verifying their opinions and found a lot of things that are obsolete. These people would bamboozle with their eloquence and sometimes insult you because they think they know better than you (the reason they are disgusting), the worse part is the way they jump on issues even when I know they know nothing and I'll take in all pain listening to their nonsense and insults too then have a good laugh with their thought later.
I'm not speaking like this not because I know beyond anyone (see I know nothing, just never stop the learning process), but a lot of us are like them at one point or the other (you read right, most of us if not all sef). We believe we are the best when it comes to intelligence and then everyone spews nonsense or better still something inferior. See, we all know things but if you're humble with your knowledge you'd acknowledge that people exist that knows better than we do, then at places of discourse can we learn to keep quiet and learn from others.
You are not better than anyone, you must keep learning so you don't become like the people in that last class. We all must learn to keep up with the pace of our wisdom. The wise keep being wise by listening, you know how much I've got to endure listening to a lot of gibberish, but I wish they would just learn, but no they won't.
The moral of this gist is that, never assume you know all things (my brethren are you God?), sit down to learn, read, listen to people else you'd keep up with constant embarrassment of your royal person in the public.
