Foolish

"You know but you do not understand"

I once thought I knew this statement, but it seems only now that I understand it. And yet...how do I know I understand it properly? :P

Sometimes, in our attempts to teach ourselves wisdom we focus so much on knowledge of it that we forget the meaning behind it. To say "I know!" whenever someone gives you advice, or to silently nod yet ignore, to walk around not wanting help, not putting in effort to ask people for help, not putting in effort towards putting the help of others to use...

All these things are pride as well.

I just never understood.
