How do you get to know what you know?

in #writing5 years ago

I know the question might sound weird or stupid to some people but the truth is, we will surely have many, that the question have linger in their mind but couldn't voice it out due to one reason or another.

I'm beginning to wonder why some people get to know more than another but, something is not really clear to me. No man ever knows it all, even the so called professor with lot of knowledge accumulated, can't do it all. You can't be professor at all field of knowledge. Which is why I love this saying, don't be a Jack of all trades and be a master of none.
Meaning that you can only be perfect in a thing and not two. This is just a digress, not the point I really wanted to make here.

When we first come to this world, we are like a blank slate with nothing at all, though some say, science, that learning started from the womb though, I don't know how true is the expression. But I know one thing for certain, science doesn't lie. Apparently, we get to know all we ever know on earth, taken a child for example, invariably learn language of his society and the culture which shaped his life and what such child would become in life. The truth of the matter is we become what we think about, but what shape what we think about, literally, that is our experience in life, about what we see around, experience of others in our society or those that have once lived before us. No child or man learn in isolation. We need each other to survive in this wicked world, though, many term it wicked because of uncertainly that happened un anticipated.

We never learn anything if we can't tell someone about it without making a mistake. But how do we really get to know something, I will go back to when I was in primary school, i remember how we were made to memories a lot of things, though, till tomorrow, all of these things never leave me. Which is to say we learn things through practical or repetition. Language which engineers our thought too is learnt through repetition, we listen to it often and often then use it, before we can be bold of competence.

The button line is we learn things first through others people experience, it might be those that we see around us or those that have once lived before us. Just like some of the poem, write up, articles even religious Bible were written many centuries ago which are still in existence till tomorrow. The only thing that happens to them or that we do is reviewing, revising most of them.
