in Search of the Absolute truth

in Search of the Absolute truth

 "I am ignorant of absolute truth. But I am humble before my ignorance and therein lies my honor and reward." ~ Kahlil Gibran.

Whom does the people respect, the one whose eyes are centered on earth, occasionally gazing to the horizon or the one whose head his held high with the pride of his know-how. "Keep your head held high" is taught to us to proclaim our confidence, but wouldn't a man's head bow to the earth, heavy with humbleness, as he gains wisdom in search of the absolute truth.

the Gang of Fools

 "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish" ~ Steve Jobs

Never underestimate a FOOL. When united they would outnumber the wise. Wise people may laugh at fools, but the laughter the wise people give to the so called fools goes unnoticed to the wiser eyes. Advertisers publish their Wise adds thinking the mass they address are fools, the Wise media precipitates the "truth" out of stories to the readers thinking the mass they address are fools and the Wise politicians reiterates their promises thinking the mass they address are fools. We all are born wise and made fools, only the "unlucky" ones get labeled WISE again.

Parents used to call me lovingly "you fool", making the teenage me angry. But now that I have realized that "you are not alone" and being one is not a big crime, I don't get angry but rather longs to hear my parents comment "you fool" again.

Happy to be a Fool  in the Gang of Fools.
