Knowledge should be shared

Knowledgeable people are humble people. The more they read and try to understand what is being read, they know that the world is too big for them, and how small there are. There are limitations to the human mind, but we not should limit ourselves from constantly asking and seeking for knowledge. In other words, we should not stop questionning in order to understand the world.

Somehow or another, the enlightened people would realized that behind all these science, is a power than runs it all. This power is so powerful that volcanoes erupt when the time comes, and human dies after the heart stops beating. How fragile we are. Yet, despite all this, some human choose to be ignorant and side with their egoistic view of life. They have decided that knowledge is not for sharing, but only for the exclusive few.

Does it hurt at all to share knowledge? Or, if the knowledge is shared, will it cause the money in the banks to deplete, that we can't afford to sustain ourselves? Do some people consider the act of sharing knowledge is a subtle form of stealing? Or, sharing is actually taking away some of the knowledge from the recluse and creases of the brain? Making one dumber by the day?

Think again, to whom do we owe our brain?

Sharing is caring. It is very true. Knowledge shared is a knowledge gain. It consolidates the long term memory. That is how great academic institution was built. It was built with love. The love of knowledge. Love invoke passion. Passion in the business of knowledge, never bankrupts. The person may die, but the work will continue, worked out by similarly passionate person.

Are you sure that you want recognition? Recognition in the form of titles are for humans only. When you are gone, the names and the title may be forgotten. But not the work that has inspired others. Yes, of course we can call you Prof, Datuk, Tan Sri, all that fancy your wits. But that is as far as it goes. Surely, happiness is only at the surface. But inside, only the Powerful One knows. To be perfectly happy, we have to be happy inside out and not vice versa.

I will be happy to share. Share and be happy. Give and never expect to take. For the sharing of knowledge is the most beneficial gift of all.
