    Default The Purpose of Knowledge

    The Purpose of Knowledge
    By Minister Louis Farrakhan


    "When God gives man knowledge, He gives man a duty and responsibility. A man who knows is responsible for the one who does not know. When God gives you knowledge and responsibility, and you fail in that responsibility, you forfeit the right to know. So your knowledge that you profess to have becomes darkness; and you lose a grip on the light because you refused to carry out your duty because you knew and you would not teach those who did not know."



    http://www.finalcall.com/artman/publ...cle_2142.shtml



    "If you do not have character development, knowledge will bring out the worst in you and it will make the one who knows suppress and enslave the one who does not know. When the poor person who does not know seeks to get free, you suppress and kill them to maintain your position of preeminence that you cannot maintain by love and right; you can only maintain it by force. This is the way America has become today. America cannot maintain her position in the world by right, so she has to maintain it by might. When you suck the blood of the peoples of the world, at some point there is going to be a natural combustion because people are going to revolt against the man who knows and kept knowledge from others to oppress, enslave and exploit them."

    ^That is such an appropriate description of certain posters in this here Knowledge Section 4 real. You know who u are. If ur purpose here is sincerely to learn or teach, then only uplifting, sharing & healthy debating would be going. Ya hear?

    As for America, well...what more can I say?

    I agree with you, or rather I would agree with you if we lived in a perfect world.

    Farahkhan said this:
    "When God gives man knowledge, He gives man a duty and responsibility. A man who knows is responsible for the one who does not know. When God gives you knowledge and responsibility, and you fail in that responsibility, you forfeit the right to know. So your knowledge that you profess to have becomes darkness; and you lose a grip on the light because you refused to carry out your duty because you knew and you would not teach those who did not know."
    That's what the problem is right now. Everyone thinks they are right, who decides who got knowledge? Is my knowledge correct or is yours?
    Everyone fights for the reason he is stating, they feel they need to teach when they are the one's who are uneducated. But who decides who follows the correct path?

    Two things:
    1) This will create only fights because everyone thinks they are correct
    2) This will create tension, because some do not want to be corrected.

    For example, Islam guarantees a muslim paradise(heaven) if he/she converts a non-muslim to being a muslim. But the majority of the population do not want to be told what to believe in. Freedom of thought!

    I completely agree with the relation between knowledge and character development, but that's it.

    Good Post!

    excuse my bluntness, but 'religion' is the cause of 99% of the world's problems.. knowledge as far as im concerned, is based on U! 'U' as in ur innerself and how u see it and relate to others towards a general betterment(yup its a word).. this has to be unbiased and unrelated to views infuenced by culture, religion or contemporary ethics.. take 'education' as an example.. goin to school/college etc isnt gonna give u enuff 'knowledge' to improve ur being.. for ur bein to attain infinite wisdom(knowledge), u have to be in a virtuos path inorder to enlighten ur soul.. this enlightenment is very individualistic, so all this Nation of Islam, Catholicism, etc isnt gonna help the individual get his wisdom.. we are already born into a society were views and the like r forced upon us, so we resort to being con-formists.. people shud step away from norms and pursue the goodness 'Within'.. thats a start in gettin 'knowledge' really, its not standin behind/infront podiums n recitin whats been said over and over.. its already been said, feel me? start fresh with YoSelf first!

    99%, hmm, maybe 99.1%.

    Although I agree with the majority of your post it does somewhat confuse knowledge with wisdom a little, but not alot, overall u making sense.

    coming into knowledge before you are ready for it can be painful

    the journey truly is different for all people


    some people learn thru dedicated study
    some people learn by being thrust into difficult situations - the struggle
    This is all really happening.

    B166ER good post.

    You gave them something to learn from, let them digest it. Let 'em know knowledge, love, and life are not concrete, nor are they destinations. They are forever evolving with the development of your understanding and wisdom. Keep giving brotha
