Should I know everything about the World?

It is impossible to know everything about anything, but we do 'need' to know a lot about a lot of things and the process is therefore unending....... we have to realize that knowledge is power and life is about learning (includes knowledge as well as experience).

Learning is a natural gift which forms the foundation of progress..... at any stage, if we feel there isn't anything more I want to know, it indicates arrogance or laziness, both of which not only lead to stagnation but even to regress.

There is no doubt that the knowledge and learning about self is more important than about the world around us, but we mustn't forget that we are a part of that world and a part of that world is ours ; the only way to progress and grow our self is to enlarge that part that we think is ours...... if we shrink it either due to arrogance or laziness, it's our own self that diminishes and deteriorates.

So, then what about detachment that seems to be so essential for stable and lasting happiness? In my view, it is not about avoiding knowledge, interactions or learning; it is simply to remain unbiased, neutral and emotionally stable......... and in fact, in-depth knowledge, interactions and learning actually help us mature, which is the key to emotional stability, so that we don't impulsively judge and take sides as we come to know of, interact with or learn about anything.

Kindly remember this one thing," in your life above the earth under the sky you can do anything that you like but without disturbing fellow human being physically or emotionally without consent". But this is very difficult for human being to follow because we don't do what we are to do but we always do what we want to do and in the process we always disturb others and land into so many problems. If you can rightly understand this then you can say that you know about the world.

You aren't stupid, and I am sure they did not mean for you to take it that way. If you are happy not knowing, though, what compelled you to come to this section?

Its probable that having expanded their own horizons, they wanted you to share in their happiness!

I hope you change your mind. The world is filled with WONDEROUS things. Don't you want to peek, even a little?

No ,, you should not know that.. Unless you'll be hurt :(

You will find lots of problems.. bad things.. which may cause tears in your eyes. :(

So its better to stay like things and know the good things and positive part of the world just for your knowledge.

Hmm if you want to be happy then be who you are.

Good Luck & Be Happy

The important thing is "when and why your mom said those words"?

If you can find the answer for that then you will have the answer "Should I know everything about the World?".

I think its not necessary for a person to know evrything about the World.... According to me, If you know abt yourself n da people who loves u, den its enough... dont scratch ur head to know evrythng abt world as u tried to learn kannada.. be happy n lead optimistic way of life... thnx for dedicating dis que to me.....

It's your life. You call the shots. Do what your heart tells you is the right thing to do. All else is optional.

The big question is: can you respect the person in the mirror?

Hey cool !!!

Your atitude is good. No need of knowing about world.You dont even try for that knowledge.(Which is useless&&equal to bullshit)

But know about your self !!( Which is mandatory).

Love all !! Serve all !!

That's enough in one's life.

Philosophically speaking, I think you are a strong believer of: Ignorance is Bliss.

not neccessary , only know things that are related to your career or interest . thats enough . knowing everything will brings problem and it spoils your happiness ....
