Don't let the known block the path of the unknown

They have complete confidence in the invisible: they know that they have the power to hold up the universe, and they can transform into form what they want to invent.Their confidence and vision have been the cause of human evolution; and we enjoy the benefits of their creative minds every day.

A person who wants to enter the hall of wisdom must first learn to give up pride. He needs to be like a child without any prejudice, because any prejudice, assumption and belief will prevent us from acquiring wisdom.The result of being clever is to shoot yourself in the foot. They block the way to the truth.

There are too many examples like this. In the religious, scientific, political and social circles, countless elites have missed the opportunity because they believed too much in their own intelligence and delayed the discovery of the truth.They missed the exit to the right path, unable to develop and strengthen themselves, and could only become humble and weak, passively accepting the truth found out by others.Instead of promoting the development of history, their behavior has become a stumbling block to the progress of the times.Of course, they can't stop the wheels from moving forward after all. They can only be crushed into mud by the wheels and turned into soil, watching others drive away in a vehicle full of truth.

When the steam engine was still in the experimental stage and could not be put into practical application, a very famous scientist in the scientific community once wrote such a statement. He believed that it was impossible to use the steam engine as power to carry out ocean voyages, because there was no ship. Ships can carry enough coal for voyages.Ironically, the first steamship to sail from England to America contained a hardcover copy of a book he had written on board.

There is an extremely important law in the search for truth: Whenever a person closes himself off from knowing the truth through pride, delusion, or any other reason, he loses all sources of knowing the truth; If Ken opens his heart to know the truth, then all sources are enough to let him know the truth.Therefore, the right to decide whether to know the truth is completely in his own hands, and has nothing to do with the facts themselves.However, for most people, the degree of understanding of the truth is still only a half-knowledge, and it is difficult to fully understand it.

In "Modern Times" starring Chaplin, the protagonist's job is to turn screw nuts all day long.When he sees everything that resembles a screw cap, he will involuntarily use a wrench to screw it, just like what a psychologist said: "People who can only use a hammer always regard all problems as nails." .”

The knowledge and experience we have acquired are just the tip of the iceberg, so everyone must keep replenishing their energy, otherwise
, There will be a day when the oil will run out.But people are often constrained by the knowledge they already have and struggle with the experience they have gained.

French writer Bernard said: "The biggest obstacle to people's learning is not unknown things, but known things." Shakespeare also said: "Don't let your thoughts become your prisoners." In reality, people base their judgments on their own experience, knowledge, and prejudices, not on the evidence in front of them.In all creation there is nothing so stubborn as thought.As you can see, knowledge and experience are good things, but you should also see that they also get in the way of the unknown.
