The great pleasure in life for a genius
is doing what people think and say you cannot do. But according to
higher law, it seems wiser doing things "in secret",
without claiming credit or broadcasting the status of being a
genius.
Few, myself included, fully comprehend
how little we know and many fear being open to consider something
new. Therefore, truth, which is usually unpopular here in this world
in which we now reside, is tossed aside, discarded, ignored, or
outright rejected, but is rarely embraced. Further light or knowledge
is seldom gathered when it is offered and additional truth goes
unnoticed or is judged to be of little value and goes unheeded.
Here's a few quotes to consider (Mark
Twain and others):
The
less you know, the more you think you know, because you don't know
that you don't know.
The
more you know, the more you know you don't know.
The
less you know, the more you believe.
The
more you know, the less you need to say.
The
more you talk, the more others know how little you know. The less you
talk, the less others know how much you know.
It
ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you
know for sure that just ain't so!
You may
have noticed that the less I know about a subject, the more
confidence I have and the more new light I throw on it.
Whenever
you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause
and reflect.
It's
easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been
fooled.
Therefore, many continue on the same
path, around and around, thinking they know something for sure, not
budging, not considering, not listening, not even using common sense
or critical thinking in the process. Not only that, but the source or
messenger or deliverer of truth is too often condemned, cast out,
ostracized, shunned, persecuted, and sometimes killed.
Perhaps the difficult challenge for
many is to realize that you (with the rest of us) really are "stupid"
in the sense that you know such a small fraction of the fullness ...
until, of course, you receive the fullness. The following scriptures
may throw some light on the subject of fullness: (D&C 39:4-6) and
(D&C 76:13-14)
Would it seem worthwhile or valuable
for you to be more open to new or further possibilities and
diligently seek truth and gather light? What do you want? Do you have
questions? If so, who could and would give you the most accurate
answers, know and reveal to you your next step, and upon whose word
you could always trust? God? "Stupid" men? Others? Would
your answer remain the same even when the "stupid" majority
of men think you are more "stupid" than before and
frequently remind you of it?
